The LA City Council voted on Tuesday to put on its books a law meant to offer “sanctuary” to immigrants, as incoming President Donald Trump threatens “mass deportations” in his second term. Here’s what’s next for the proposal. lapublicpress.org/2024/11/la…

Here’s what’s next for LA’s “sanctuary city” law proposal

Today I am in Diamond Bar with @SierraClub to remind @SouthCoastAQMD that they have an obligation to directly regulate port emissions and clean up deadly pollution. It's time to listen to the community and hold polluters accountable to reducing emissions.
