The Trump administration sues Los Angeles over its ‘sanctuary city’ policies and its resistance to cooperating on Immigration
Los Angeles is a key testing ground as the Trump administration clashes with Democrats over immigration
The suit, that names Mayor Karen Bass, the City Council and City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson as defendants, claims that Los Angeles’ laws and policies obstruct the enforcement of immigration laws. Bass’ office has not responded to this comment.
There is a definite chill in the air for undocumented workers and those that hire them. Fearing roundups, car checks and other tactics, many immigrants are staying home. Construction, agriculture, senior care and hospitality employers say that labor shortages will worsen. Employers who are responsible for their employees must reach out to their Representatives and Senators to insist that they fight for them and their businesses and institute a faster, more user-friendly immigration process be put in place immediately for these essential workers with a pathway to permanent residency and US citizenship.
Agents at ports of entry are becoming more aggressive in their tactics as the administration increases their efforts against green-card (permanent residents) and visa holders that oppose the rough and sometimes violent manner in which these policies are being implemented.
It is important to know your rights and to carry your immigration documentation with you at all times.
