Los Angeles Now a So-Called Sanctuary City

Los Angeles is now a so-called sanctuary city. On Tuesday afternoon, the L.A. City Council passed that ordinance by a vote of 13 to nothing. It formally establishes a policy preventing the city from helping federal immigration officials with roundups or other actions aimed at illegal immigrants. It comes as the incoming Trump administration promises widespread roundups. The ordinance prevents L.A. from directly or indirectly sharing data, money or workers with federal immigration officials.
