Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has issued an executive directive reaffirming the city’s self-proclaimed sanctuary status in response to ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. She also promised to offer cash assistance to illegal immigrants who aren’t going to work in order to avoid federal enforcement action.
“There is a need for me to have an executive directive to help our city understand how to protect itself from our federal government,” Bass said at a July 11 news conference.
