LA County supervisors pushing back against federal immigration raids
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors are taking steps to push back against recent federal immigration raids in L.A. County, including exploring ways to keep federal authorities from using county properties and to help those residents detained in sweeping raids.
In an urgency motion authored by Supervisor Hilda Solis on Tuesday, June 10, the county would provide support and information about civil rights to about 45 individuals detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement suspected of immigration law violations arrested during recent raids in Paramount, Compton, Westlake, Cypress Park, South L.A. and Downtown L.A.
The motion elaborates that the supervisors is directing its County Counsel to prevent county properties with public access to be used by federal immigration agencies for immigration enforcement activities and “preventing commandeering their use.”
Another section directs the County Counsel to join as an amicus or friend of the court brief in the state of California’s case, Gov. Gavin Newsom vs. President Donald J. Trump, et all, which claims Trump’s ordering of California National Guard to the streets of L.A. to combat violent protesters was an illegal act.
