LA formally declares itself a 'city of sanctuary'

LOS ANGELES - It took nearly a year and a half, but officials voted Friday to declare Los Angeles a "city of sanctuary," long after other left-leaning cities took a similar stand against the Trump administration's policies toward immigrants who lack legal status.

The Los Angeles City Council voted 12-0 to approve a symbolic resolution that elected officials first proposed in September 2017.

At the time, Councilman Gil Cedillo and Council President Herb Wesson called the proposal a response to President Donald Trump's plan to unwind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children.
