Los Angeles officially declared itself a sanctuary city in a direct challenge to the incoming Trump administration’s plan to deport those in the U.S. illegally.
As one of the largest cities near the southern border, LA’s decision has sparked significant debate over the role of local governments in federal immigration matters.
City Council took the bold step by passing the sanctuary city ordinance, ensuring that no local resources are used to assist federal immigration enforcement.
Additionally, the city’s public school system has doubled down on its sanctuary status, passing emergency resolutions to protect undocumented students.
Critics argue that such actions undermine federal law and set a dangerous precedent, raising questions about the balance between local autonomy and national enforcement.
Keith Hanson the CEO of QUX Technologies, and a veteran law enforcement expert joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
