Los Angeles passed a sanctuary ordinance that prohibits city resources from being used for federal immigration enforcement, strengthening protections for its immigrant population.
The unanimous vote to establish an ordinance enshrines sanctuary city protections into law, replacing previous measures that lacked the same legal weight.
City resources, including workers and property, are barred from being used in federal immigration enforcement under this new ordinance, which was expedited due to urgency.
The Los Angeles Unified School District also plans to enact immigrant protections, highlighting a broader commitment amongst city leaders to defend vulnerable populations.
