LA Declares Sanctuary Status Amid Trump’s Deportation Threats

The Los Angeles City Council has unanimously passed a 'sanctuary city' ordinance, positioning the city as a safe haven for immigrants in response to President-elect Donald Trump's plans for mass deportations. The ordinance prohibits the use of city resources or personnel to assist federal immigration enforcement, reinforcing LA's commitment to protecting its immigrant population. This move comes as part of a broader resistance from various cities across the U.S. against Trump's immigration policies. Los Angeles, the second-largest city in the country, joins other major cities in adopting sanctuary measures.
