Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti released a Twitter video Saturday explaining why he and the city's government won't be cooperating with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as they carry out raids nationwide.
President Trump initially announced raids on illegal immigrants in June, before backing off to give Congress more time to find a bipartisan solution. He then greenlit the operation for this weekend, and a senior administration official told Fox News the crackdown was underway in New York City and several other places.
Garcetti, a Democrat, gave legal advice to those living in Los Angeles illegally and informed them of which city resources they could take advantage of -- including but not limited to a lawyer. "We've all heard reports the Trump administration is threatening to round up and deport thousands of immigrant families in cities across America this weekend," he began.

Serious question: Is this clown freaking any laws?
Because if he is....
Awful easy to be generous with taxpayer money.
The Mayor of LA is saying if you can get here illegally I’m with you, come on over. Astounding.
What oath did he take when he took office, if not to uphold the laws of the country he was elected in. Time for the DOJ to file a suit for not holding to his oath.
Deport Mayor Garcetti along with them.
Great question.
His reply: "Hey, I'm liberal but I ain't that liberal. Sheesh! They're often gang members and drug smugglers for gosh sakes."
Everyone robbed, raped and murdered by illegals in LA should hold him accountable.
The 2020 campaign ads write themselves.
“Meanwhile, stay and enjoy the typhus”
Deport him too then.
Gee, trying to think here, what could they possibly do with those funds if they used them for Americans who might need them.
Round his sorry azz up first, along with the lesbo mayor of Chicago and the anarchist mayor in Portland, Oregon.
Nobody wants to live in Mexico. Why is that? I wonder if mexicans would be sneaking into mexico if their entire population was replace with productive americans.
When will at least one of these knuckleheaded elected officials be arrested for obstruction of justice?
Too bad that can’t be taken as a public declaration of surrendering his citizenship and all rights and privileges therewith.
Arrest this sanctuary bastard too! Who is advising Trump not to arrest Mayors and Governors?
Insurgent mayor. Treat him the same way we treated insurgent tribal judges in Fallujah (before we paid them off)
It’s been over TOO YEARS, and you just figured this out?
There is crime and corruption but actually, Mexico’s cities and towns are looking a lot nicer and well maintained than Los Angeles (which is sinking under liberal leadership) and there are a growing number of American expats and retirees there. Says a lot about the state of our big cities.
