The Los Angeles City Council officially declared the city a “sanctuary” for migrants on Tuesday, barring the use of city resources or personnel to assist federal immigration enforcement.
Council members passed the ordinance unanimously, 13-0, strengthening previous policies by explicitly prohibiting the direct or indirect sharing of data with federal immigration authorities. The vote follows President-elect Donald Trump’s recent vow to use the U.S. military to carry out mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
“Immigrants make up the very fabric of Los Angeles, and they deserve to feel safe and protected in the city they call home, no matter who is in power,” said Councilmember Nithya Raman, whose family moved to the U.S. from India when she was six years old.
Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest city, is home to more than 1.35 million immigrants, comprising over 34% of its population.
To coincide with the City Council’s vote, the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education also voted unanimously on Monday to adopt a “sanctuary city” resolution. The resolution calls for LAUSD teachers and staff to undergo training on how to respond if contacted by federal immigration officials.

“The Los Angeles City Council officially declared the city a “sanctuary” for migrants on Tuesday, barring the use of city resources or personnel to assist federal immigration enforcement.”
Say goodbye to your federal law enforcement grants... idiots.
Not gonna help.
The federal government is tasked with immigration, and any
small time idiot outside the White House stands a good chance
of going up on federal or military tribunal charges if they
aren’t careful.
Frankly, they can take the whole LA City Council with them if
they like.
This is the good part when it comes to deporting immigrants... There is no need to actually ‘deport’ them... Just send them to these sanctuary cities and states and by the time the next election rolls around... Those states will be voting Republican.
I thought they did this years ago.
Did their previous sanctuary city status experts, or what?
Do they just redo it because they are attention whores?
Fine by me. No federal funding though. No more monies to NGOs
I thought they did this years ago.
Did their previous sanctuary city status expire, or what?

ILLEGALS GOING TO L.A. - SPEED IT UP A LITTLE!
Removing the tax exempt status of criminal NGOs would have a major impact—and only requires IRS action—no legislation needed.

Long overdue good idea.
Otherwise, do we guarantee tax money to child trafficker gangs, organized crime groups and drug gangs?
They are groups of people who defy the law, too.
“End all federal benefits to the city and everyone in the city.”
Look at who is the #1 recipient of all FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS happens to be...

Dang, more Californians moving to Texas.
Homan said they can do what they want but “We’re coming”.
There must be a ton of money for the industrial illegal immigrant scam
Good. Make it known that all violations of 8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Each incident will be a separate violation and all sentences will be served consecutively.
You shouldn’t have to prosecute to many of these peop[le until this nonsense stops.
Paging governor Abbott, you have a volunteer. Fire up the buses baby!!!
This encourages illegals to come to america and thus is a violation of section 1324 title 8.
