This legislation prohibits the use of city resources and personnel for federal immigration enforcement, reinforcing Los Angeles's commitment to protecting its immigrant communities.

Key Provisions of the Ordinance

It ensures that city resources are not utilized to enforce federal immigration laws, thereby fostering a safer environment for immigrants to engage with city services without fear of deportation. . .
