Los Angeles passes sanctuary city ordinance in wake of Trump election victory
California has been a sanctuary state since 2017, following passage of SB 54

Los Angeles city lawmakers voted Tuesday to formally adopt a sanctuary city ordinance, weeks after President-elect Trump's victory, amid promises to carry out mass deportation raids. 

The 13-0 vote will prohibit Los Angeles from providing any city resources or personnel to be used to help federal enforcement of immigration laws.

City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto, along with Mayor Karen Bass, released the draft ordinance last week that was written with help from immigration groups.

Council members Hugo Soto-Martinez and Monica Rodriguez, who chair the council's Civil Rights and Public Safety committees, respectively, waived the matter from their jurisdictions to expedite a vote on the matter.

California has been a sanctuary state since 2017 with the passage of SB 54, which prohibits local law enforcement agencies from using resources to investigate, detain, report or arrest people for immigration violations.

During a debate Tuesday, many public speakers pushed for the sanctuary ordinance, saying immigrant communities should be protected from "unimaginable cruelty" of raids that could separate families and target migrants who come to the U.S. to work.

Others raised concerns about the depletion of resources given to help illegal immigrants, given that the city is contending with mass homelessness and a housing crisis.

Perfect.  LA can take in all the illegals, and then not receive a dime from the federal government.  And that includes Education dollars.  Sucks to be them.

School lunch program?  Legal residents only.  Block grants?  Not if it includes illegals.  Hospital and other medical subsidies?  Sorry, they don't cover illegals.  I hope this bankrupt's California.

More illegals will move to LA and CA.  The poor legal hispanics will suffer most when these new arrivals will replace them at lower wages.

CA is really that stupid.  And you can't fix stupid.

LA enacts sanctuary city ordinance to prepare for potential mass deportations under Trump
Story by JAIMIE DING, Associated Press • 12h


LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday approved a so-called “sanctuary city” ordinance that bars city resources from being used for immigration enforcement and city departments from sharing information on people without legal status with federal immigration authorities, in anticipation of potential mass deportations under President-elect Donald Trump.
 
Councilmembers voted unanimously on the measure, joining more than a dozen cities across the United States with similar provisions. Sanctuary cities or states are not legal terms but have come to symbolize a pledge to protect and support immigrant communities and decline to voluntarily supply information to immigration enforcement officials. Advocates say they are havens for immigrants to feel safe and be able to report crime without fear of deportation.
 
The measure will come back to the council for a second vote as a formality. Mayor Karen Bass, who has the power to veto it, has said she supports the ordinance.

With Trump's promises of a vast immigration crackdown upon his return to the White House in January, immigration advocates urged Los Angeles council members to move swiftly.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Federal law says it is a 10 year prison term to knowingly harbor illegals.

Slap the entire city council and mayor in federal prison.

It's contagious. Stupidity, that is.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors just voted 3-1 to enact this policy & become a “Super Sanctuary” county, prohibiting all cooperation with ICE, even on serious crimes like rape, & going further than CA sanctuary state law.
