Overview
- Supervisors are set to consider Supervisor Lindsey Horvath’s motion directing county counsel to prepare an ordinance for introduction within 30 days.
- The proposal would block use of county-owned or controlled sites as staging, processing, or operations bases for civil immigration enforcement without a county permit; it would not restrict lawful judicial warrants.
- Draft provisions define “staging areas,” require prominent signage on all county properties, and call for physical barriers such as locked gates where appropriate.
- County documents caution that the move could prompt federal litigation and put more than $1 billion in annual federal funding at risk.
- LAUSD reaffirmed schools as protected spaces, maintained warrant-only protocols, and added bus routes after reported operations in Glassell Park, Cypress Park, Highland Park, and Eagle Rock.
