Los Angeles County leaders declared a local state of emergency in the region Tuesday, according to local officials.
News of the proclamation was shared in a news release online by LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath's office.
The measure was said to be a response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across LA County, which is home to more than 10 million people and one of the U.S.'s largest immigrant populations.
The county can now offer to support residents financially who have been impacted by the raids, including rent relief and accessing state funds for any legal aid.
"What’s happening in our communities is an emergency and Los Angeles County is treating it like one," Horvath said in the statement.
"Declaring a Local Emergency ensures that the full weight of County government is aligned to support our immigrant communities who are being targeted by federal actions," she added.
The proclamation notice, dated Oct. 9, said that it will remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Supervisors.
County departments were ordered to "take necessary emergency actions to protect and stabilize communities impacted by federal immigration actions," it read.
County supervisors voted 4-1 in favor of the emergency proclamation to mobilize county resources and support affected communities despite potential legal challenges from the federal government.
County officials claimed the raids have "created a climate of fear, leading to widespread disruption in daily life and adverse impacts to our regional economy," including decreased workplace attendance, temporary or permanent business closures, and increased strain on schools, hospitals, and places of worship.
Supervisor Janice Hahn said the emergency declaration was needed to respond to "the fear, the pain and the disorder these ICE raids are causing our community."

It’s an insurrection.
“immigrant communities” =illegal voters
It's a declaration, hoping that the state will send the bankrupt City of Los Angeles some money. Such a declaration won't get financial support from the Trump=Vance administration. But it will make local Democrats feel like they've done something, and keep Los Angelenos from looking at the state of the city, as it is plundered by Democrats.
Take a gander at the immensely fattened salaries the City is paying these days for its "public servants."
2023 salaries for Los Angeles
“But it will make local Democrats feel like they’ve done something, and keep Los Angelenos from looking at the state of the city, as it is plundered by Democrats.”
And of course because they’re all raging narcissists how they personally feel is the truly important thing.

Yup. "ME" has made a statement to the press [ be sure to spell my name ME correctly ] stating ME, Me and ME, because a next election is just around the corner and the idiots voters need to know who ME is.
Just how can LA afford to do this without outside financial help? Trump isn’t going to provide federal money. The California State budget is in shambles. So where is the money for this going to come from? It is sure not going to come from US AID. Inquiring minds want to know.
“...The county can now offer to support residents financially who have been impacted by the raids, including rent relief and accessing state funds for any legal aid.....”
Exactly.
sounds like they are harboring fugatives and also RICO violations.
The new Gaza. LA is turning into a shithole city.
For over 50 years the communist goal has been to make the cattle dependent on Government so they can be easier controlled. They are taking advantage of this new opportunity to further their own end goal. And they can falsely blame Trump for it.
Dependent Cattle? Correct, First make everyone sicker and then you are able to control them through guberment medical care.
Move the border let them be in mexico,
More like a State of Insurrection
lol the state is also bankrupt, so go for it 😂
State of emergency they say?
Maybe Trump should send in the National Guard to help them recover.
How does that rent relief work? Are the landlords going to get shafted or enriched with taxpayer money? How many County Board members are renting to illegals?

There has been huge disruption in LA due to Biden open border policy.
So now, we need some disruption to correct it.

communities impacted by federal [illegal] immigration actions..
So much gaslighting, so little regard for US law.
<>P> It's interesting how easily "lol? trips off lips and into written comments..... The larger issues screams alarm.
