L.A. to become a ‘sanctuary’ city for migrants in response to Trump threat

The Los Angeles City Council officially declared the city a “sanctuary” for migrants on Tuesday, barring the use of city resources or personnel to assist federal immigration enforcement.
Council members passed the ordinance unanimously, 13-0, strengthening previous policies by explicitly prohibiting the direct or indirect sharing of data with federal immigration authorities. The vote follows President-elect Donald Trump’s recent vow to use the U.S. military to carry out mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
“Immigrants make up the very fabric of Los Angeles, and they deserve to feel safe and protected in the city they call home, no matter who is in power,” said Councilmember Nithya Raman, whose family moved to the U.S. from India when she was six years old.
Los Angeles, the nation’s second-largest city, is home to more than 1.35 million immigrants, comprising over 34% of its population.
To coincide with the City Council’s vote, the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education also voted unanimously on Monday to adopt a “sanctuary city” resolution. The resolution calls for LAUSD teachers and staff to undergo training on how to respond if contacted by federal immigration officials.

Make L.A. an intermediary stop for all about to be deported illegal aliens.
If they want it—they should get it—good and hard.

Not gonna help.
The federal government is tasked with immigration, and any
small time idiot outside the White House stands a good chance
of going up on federal or military tribunal charges if they
aren’t careful.
Frankly, they can take the whole LA City Council with them if
they like.

This is the good part when it comes to deporting immigrants... There is no need to actually ‘deport’ them... Just send them to these sanctuary cities and states and by the time the next election rolls around... Those states will be voting Republican.
