Los Angeles City Council Unanimously Adopts Sanctuary City Ordinance in 13-0 Vote

Nov 19, 2024, 10:19 PM

The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously adopted a 'sanctuary city' ordinance with a 13-0 vote, prohibiting the use of city resources and personnel for federal immigration enforcement. Led by President Bob Blumenfield, this move is in response to President-elect Trump's promise of the largest deportation in U.S. history. The ordinance aims to protect immigrant communities by ensuring that city resources are not used to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. The ordinance reflects a broader trend among Democrat-led cities and states reaffirming sanctuary policies in defiance of Trump's immigration stance.
