Los Angeles City Council advances motion to become nation's newest ‘sanctuary city’
Fox News
Los Angeles moved closer to officially becoming a "sanctuary city" Friday after a unanimous City Council vote advancing a motion regarding immigrants there.
The motion had previously been approved by the City Council’s Civil Rights, Equity, Immigration, Aging and Disability Committee and the Public Safety Committee, and asks the city attorney to write a draft making LA a "sanctuary city," FOX 11 reported.
"For many people in Los Angeles who have been advocating for the city to become an official sanctuary city for many years, this is a long overdue process," Council member Nithya Raman, who was one of three members who introduced the motion, said.
