Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass signed an executive order on Friday to strengthen the agreement and support immigrant communities, including providing cash aid in response to the Trump administration’s raids against people living in the United States illegally.
The order is intended to help protect city labor and residents from federal government during immigration enforcement operations. It also requires federal agencies to provide records of attacks, attacks in custody and for what reasons and the costs of taxpayers, which will be part of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
“It’s necessary for me to have an executive order to help our cities understand how to protect themselves from the federal government,” Bass said in a press conference. “What we’re seeing here in the last six-week raid that popped up is that we never know when and where they will happen.

“The directive will help city workers know how to contact immigration officials with city departments,” she added.
The order also requires city departments to develop plans for plans and train how to comply with Los Angeles Sanctuary city Regulations.
Additionally, Bass said a plan is being developed to provide cash assistance to those affected by law enforcement actions. Bass said immigration rights groups will allocate cash cards with “several hundred” of dollars in about a week.
She said the money would not come from the city’s vault, but from charitable partners.
“Did you tell me that’s not the title of the Babylonian Bee?” a White House spokesman told Fox News numbers, referring to the satirical news website. “Recent immigration enforcement in California has resulted in the successful detention of numerous violent criminals and exempting children from illegal labor exploitation. However, the bass did not help these children or put American citizens first, but instead doubled her defense of illegal foreigners.

“Americans are tired of these pathetic stunts from Democratic politicians. That’s why they elected President Trump,” the spokesperson added. “They want someone who puts America first, of course not Karen, Gavin.”
Bass condemned immigration operations against criminal illegal immigrants in the city. Los Angeles is one of several cities that sued the Trump administration for “illegal” attacks.

Earlier this week, nearly 100 National Guard and immigration authorities were targeting MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, prompting Bass to go to the park and demanded a stop to the operation, which was rejected by U.S. Border Patrol Commissioner Gregory Bovino.

“I don’t work for Karen Bass,” Bovino told Fox News at the time. “It’s better to get used to us now, because it’s going to be normal soon. We’ll go anywhere anytime we want in Los Angeles.”
