Los Angeles Strengthens Sanctuary Status Amid Political Shifts
TL;DR Summary
Los Angeles has declared itself a 'sanctuary city,' passing an ordinance to prevent local resources from aiding federal immigration enforcement, setting up a potential conflict with President-elect Donald Trump's administration, which has promised mass deportations. The city's public school system also reaffirmed its sanctuary status for undocumented immigrants and LGBTQ students. This move aligns with similar actions by other cities like Boston and New York, as they resist federal immigration crackdowns.
