Los Angeles officials say they are working to expedite a sanctuary law that would hamper the incoming Trump administration's immigration goals.
Members of the Los Angeles City Council say they are working to expedite a law declaring Los Angeles a 'sanctuary city' for illegal immigrants following President-elect Trump's victory last week. The law would ban federal immigration officials from accessing city databases and ban city resources from being used for immigration enforcement. The ordnance was originally passed last year, but it has faced a lengthy legal review and has yet to take effect.
The funding will support the ability to immediately file litigation and seek injunctive relief against unlawful federal actions,' Newsom's office said. During Trump's first term, Newsom launched lawsuits against the federal government more than 100 times. Fox News' Jamie Joseph contributed to this report.
