Mayor Karen Bass announced a plan Friday to provide direct cash assistance to people who have been affected by the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration raids.
The aid will be distributed using cash cards with a “couple hundred” dollars on them, which should be available in about a week, Bass said at a news conference.
You have people who don’t want to leave their homes, who are not going to work, and they are in need of cash,” she said.
Bass spoke about a family she met who needed two incomes to afford their rent. After one of the breadwinners was detained in an immigration raid, she said, the family is concerned they may face eviction.
It was not immediately clear what the qualifications will be needed to receive the cards.
The mayor emphasized that the money will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners. The cards will be distributed by immigrants rights groups such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.

Had enough, Los Angeles? You paid Biden to fly them in, you paid for their housing in hotels, you're paying them monthly disability and welfare payments for those who apply, you're paying for their health care and their children in schools, you're paying for ICE to round them up, and now you're paying them cash assistance.
HAD THE F ENOUGH YET?
It also explains how the average coyote fee per family is calculated.
How will people use the cards if “don’t want to leave their homes, who are not going to work?”
Freepers who said the money is coming from taxpayers got it right. It received grants from both State and Federal government — including the Department of Homeland Security!!! Until Trump cut those funds:
As the raids continue, just think of all the money ICE will save the poor working schlubs.
Prove that isn’t Federal money you’re using Karen.
Aiding and abetting?
Throw those "philanthropists" into the pokey!
Regards,
California will demand $$$$$$ from the federal government. Our tax dollars will be used to bail out California yet again.
ONLY 44 PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED SO FAR IN ALTADENA FIRE AREA.
BETWEEN 9400 & 9500 structures lost in that area alone.
THAT IS BASS’ VERSION OFF FAST TRACKING
“Had enough, Los Angeles?”
“HAD THE F ENOUGH YET?”
Apparently not. Since Kamala leads by a wide margin for 2026 Governor.
Reagan Amnesty, the gift that keeps on giving.
Did she give cash cards to the CITIZENS who lost homes in the fires?
She should be charged with violations of 8 USC 1324, harboring aliens and 18 USC 111, impeding or interfering with federal agents in the performance of their duties.

That’s ok with me, a non-Californian, as long as my money is not used.
“That’s not enough to buy a muffler.”
The democrats really want the Great Replacement to succeed - so much so that they are using taxpayer money to make it easier for the intruders to come here and replace the taxpayers.
Notice lardass is giving away tax dollars and not her own.
