LAPD Chief Declares Non-Cooperation with Trump Deportation Plans

Jim McDonnell, the newly appointed chief, vows to protect Los Angeles' immigrant community amidst national policy shifts.

Jim McDonnell, the new LAPD chief, has publicly stated that the department will not assist with mass deportations as proposed by President-elect Trump.
McDonnell's position aligns with Los Angeles' long-standing policy, rooted in Special Order No. 40, which prohibits officers from enforcing federal immigration laws.
Mayor Karen Bass supports McDonnell's stance, emphasizing Los Angeles' commitment to protecting all residents, regardless of immigration status.
Conservative critics have reacted strongly on social media, demanding federal intervention to enforce immigration laws.
Tom Homan, Trump's newly appointed 'border czar,' insists that ICE will proceed with deportations, urging local jurisdictions to comply or step aside.
