The Los Angeles City Council Tuesday is set to adopt a "sanctuary city" ordinance that would officially prohibit any city resources or personnel from being used to help federal enforcement of immigration laws.Last week, City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto, in partnership with Mayor Karen Bass, released the draft ordinance, making it public for the first time after it was called for more than a year ago.
The ordinance would also prohibit "any city resources, property or personnel from being utilized for any federal immigration enforcement," as well as city cooperation with federal immigration authorities in "execution of their duties" as it pertains to immigration enforcement.Newly appointed Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell has said the department would not engage in immigration enforcement. He has remained steadfast in that position.
