Local State of Emergency Declared in LA County
LA County Supervisors have approved a declaration of a local state of emergency due to immigration raids.
Background: Since June, federal immigration agents have conducted sweeps across Southern California, instilling fear among immigrant communities. The proclamation states that residents have become fearful of leaving their homes to go to work, access county services, and attend appointments.
Immigration Raid Financial Impacts
The proposal notes that sweeps have "destabilized" neighborhoods and hurt the local economy. County officials estimate that workforce loss could result in a $275 billion loss to the gross domestic product.
The county needs to do more to support immigrant families.
The County Board of Supervisors passed the proclamation four to one, with Supervisor Kathryn Barger opposing the move.
