As the Laken Riley murder trial roils the country, Democrat controlled cities are protecting child rapists, criminals – the very worst elements of humanity.

Any city that violates Federal law should not receive one Federal dollar.

National Review: The Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed an ordinance on Tuesday to make the southern California city a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, as president-elect Donald Trump vows to carry out mass deportations during his second term. The ordinance, which passed the city council with a 13-0 vote, will prohibit city officers and resources from being used to enforce federal immigration laws, except under limited circumstances. The legislation will likely be signed into law by Democratic mayor Karen Bass, as she released the draft ordinance last week in the wake of Trump’s reelection victory (National Review).

Fox News: Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued an executive directive in 2019 that offered protections to immigrants. Los Angeles has followed sanctuary city guidelines but an ordinance was never codified into law. Additionally, the Los Angeles Police Department mandates that its officers not inquire about immigration status or make arrests related to a migrant’s legal status. Newly appointed Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell has said the department won’t participate in immigration enforcement (Fox News).
