Immigration

One event organizer said they want a sanctuary ordinance, like the one recently passed in LA, in every city.

The ordinance has sparked mixed reactions, even among those it aims to protect.

American farmers are dependent on migrant workers as U.S. citizens generally avoid labor-intensive farm jobs.

The LA City Council formally adopted the ordinance with an urgency clause, meaning it will go into effect within 10 days of being signed by Mayor Karen Bass.

State lawmakers, who are majority Democratic, are expected to introduce the proposed legislation in the coming weeks.

Newport Beach Mayor Will O'Neill said state policies are "protecting people who are known criminals wo are in the country illegally."

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco say they'll have two different approaches to illegal immigration when Donald Trump takes office in a few months.

Some of the migrants, primarily from Central and South America, are reportedly motivated by a sense of urgency to reach the U.S. before January’s presidential inauguration.

The LA City Council Tuesday passed a "Sanctuary City" ordinance that officially prohibits any city resources or personnel from being used to help federal enforcement of immigration laws.

The mayor of Newport Beach is slamming California's sanctuary state policy after a panga boat carrying 21 migrants arrived off the coast last week.
