Mayor Karen Bass issues an executive directive to support migrants amid ICE enforcement
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has issued a new executive directive in response to what she calls “unlawful and chaotic” federal immigration raids across the region. The order, Executive Directive No. 12, aims to strengthen protections for immigrant communities and ensure that city workers understand how to respond if approached by federal immigration agents. Bass cited recent high-profile enforcement actions in areas like MacArthur Park and Ventura County as examples of federal overreach intended to intimidate residents. Under the directive, all city departments must submit preparedness plans within two weeks, including training and protocols for interacting with immigration officials. Departments are also required to designate an immigrant affairs liaison and report any federal enforcement activity to the mayor’s office. Bass emphasized that the goal is to make sure immigrants can access city services without fear and that contractors working with the city also understand their rights. The directive establishes a new LAPD-led working group to develop further guidance, and it reinforces existing city policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Additionally, the city will file a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain detailed records about recent ICE activity in Los Angeles. Bass concluded by underscoring the need for the city to defend itself and its residents from actions by the federal government, particularly under the Trump administration’s immigration agenda.

June 11, 2025 - I was worried about that before the ICE raids. I mean, that is a worry. I mean, the theme of the administration is uncertainty. And so I have been very hopeful and you know this, in terms of the fires and the cooperation we receive from the federal government, working well with the administration.
