From Fox News: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass signed an executive order Friday to bolster protocols and support immigrant neighborhoods, including offering cash assistance, in response to raids by the Trump administration targeting those living in the United States illegally.
The order is intended to help protect the city’s workforce and residents from the federal government during immigration enforcement operations. It also demands that federal agencies provide records of the raids, who was detained and for what reason and the cost to taxpayers, which will be part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
“There is a need for me to have an executive directive to help our city understand how to protect itself from our federal government,” Bass said at a press conference. “What we have seen here over the last, now six weeks of raids that pop up, and we never know exactly when and where they’re going to happen.
“The directive will help city workers know how to address immigration officials should they approach a city department,” she added.
Bass is taking her blatant defense of the illegal aliens in Los Angeles even farther, as she announced she will also be giving them CASH, and said cards with a “couple hundred” dollars on them will be distributed by immigrants’ rights groups in about a week.
In a press conference, Bass touted the ‘family resource centers,’ and added, “But we also are going to have reinstitution of the Angelino card, something that Mayor Garcetti started during COVID that will actually provide cash assistance to people because… you have people who don’t want to leave their homes … who are not going to work and…. ad are in need of cash.”
“You know, I have met with family members who said they needed two incomes in order to make the rent,” she continued. “Well, one income was lost in a raid when someone was detained. And this woman with her children now is concerned that she might face being evicted and being homeless. And so, it’s that type of emergency assistance. And we’re fortunate that there’s a lot of philanthropic partners who have contributed and many more, I hope that will… join in and contribute. We’re organizing uh food deliveries. I mean there’s all sorts of things that we are having to do now to protect people from the federal government…”
Bass announced on X:
The Executive Directive I just signed will:
✅Bolster city protocols in the face of ongoing raids
✅Expand access to resources for families impacted by recent raids
✅Provide more information regarding these these unlawful and chaotic raids.
Los Angeles stands UNITED.

“Let this sink in: I signed an Executive Directive today to help our city protect itself from the federal government,” Bass defiantly wrote on X.
