Los Angeles City Council approves ‘sanctuary city’ ordinance
The Los Angeles City Council on Friday, June 9th, unanimously approved a motion to make Los Angeles a “sanctuary city” for immigrants.
The motion directs the city attorneys to prepare an ordinance that would enshrine the sanctuary policies into the city’s municipal code to ensure that no “city resources, property, or personnel are used for federal immigration enforcement,” according to a news release.
LA had been a sanctuary city in name only previously. This bakes it into law.
“Our immigrant communities make up the nervous system of Los Angeles. They need more than symbolic gestures and internal policies that can change from administration to administration,” Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez said in a statement.
Huh. Chaser
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott buses 42 migrants to Los Angeles
Forty-two migrants arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon after a nearly 24-hour bus ride from Texas, where Gov. Greg Abbott called their removal “much-needed relief” for his state.
“Texas’ small border towns remain overwhelmed and overrun by the thousands of people illegally crossing into Texas from Mexico because of President Biden’s refusal to secure the border,” he said in a statement. (snip)
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was away on a planned trip to Washington, D.C., when the bus arrived, but city and Los Angeles County officials had initiated multiagency preparations Tuesday night when word spread that Los Angeles was next on Abbott’s list of sanctuary cities.
In an emailed statement, Bass said “it is abhorrent that an American elected official is using human beings as pawns in his cheap political games.”
She doesn’t want them? So strange. How about Democrats who are inviting people from all over the world to come to the U.S. illegally? Is that not playing games?
Speaking to reporters outside the church, immigration advocates and city officials did not provide a full manifest of those who arrived by charter bus but said several of the passengers came from Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras, with two of African descent and one of Asian descent.
It’s certainly not cheap to travel around the world, right? Where’s the money coming from? Expect Texas to ship even more to Los Angeles, per Abbott, now that they’re a sanctuary city. As Ron DeSantis stated when he visited the Southern border in Arizona “When they have to deal with some of the fruits of that they all of a sudden become very, very upset about that.”
did they not announce they were a sanctuary city?
Teach wants to believe that very few refugees asking for askum will in fact be granted an adjustment of status to “refugees”
However in 2022 that adjustment of status was granted in 46% of adjudicated cases
I think it is great that states are providing free transportation to migrants. They should be able toive wherever they wish.
The LA official didn’t say they were not wanted only that they should not be used as political pawns.
There are about 1million undocumented in LA 42 is literally less than a drop in a bucket
Teach is attempting to make a mountain out of a mole hill
Sorry Carbon boy-they should be providing free transportation to send them back to where they came from. They’re here illegally. Is that concept still over your head?
