Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti wants to make sure all of the illegal immigrants in Los Angeles know that the city will not cooperate with ICE, and he also gives illegals handy legal advice in the event a federal agent should show up at their door. He makes it clear in the video that immigration is a federal issue and safety is a state issue, and that Los Angeles police will not comply with the feds.
Regardless of your immigration status, I want every Angeleno to know your city is on your side. Here in Los Angeles, our police department does not coordinate with ICE or participate in immigration enforcement.

So this should free Garcetti and the LAPD to remove the bums that have been camping out on my street corner for years.

Sweet.
Can our police also let it slide when we speed or miss stop lights? How about when someone wants to build a treehouse without a permit? Or, here’s a good one, choose to work as an independent contractor without triggering #AB5 enforcement?
No one is above the law, eh?

Please provide us with a comprehensive list of all the laws you don’t feel like enforcing. We’d like to know which ones we can break with impunity. Thanks.

This is a real slap in the face to all law abiding citizens
If people can’t even respect our country’s immigration laws why should we be catering to them like you do 24/7 ?

You are losing a lot of reasonable progressives on this issue. There has to be something between children in cages and “there’s no such thing as an undocumented immigrant”. We should know who is coming into our country & have control over it while welcoming law abiding immigrants

my grandparents would be heartbroken, leaving ALL that they knew, knowing they would never again step foot in Mexico once they LEGALLY left for America; leaving so we would have a chance at a future .. ONLY for America to become what they LEFT.
shame on you and shame on @LAPDHQ

It does not help American citizens living in California when you enable lawlessness, and go as far as to coddle and protect criminals. This is a violation of our civil rights as Anericans. It’s time for you to honor your charge to protect and defend American citizens.

If only you were this committed to the 59,000 homeless human beings suffering on the streets of Los Angeles.
Women, Children, and Veterans.
You have abandoned them all.

Mayor, if you aren't willing to enforce federal law you should never take federal fundi g for anything. Simple as that. Btw, to put your legal immigrant citizens and natural citizens safety at risk.

The city is not on your side if you're a law-abiding citizen. Think about that for a while, taxpayers.
— Cornponypalooza (@LDreeniatnuom) February 15, 2020
So, your position is illegal and unconstitutional. Got it.

Never thought I’d live to see a police chief turn pro crime. They’re done.

I support ICE

What crap it is to say that all “Angelenos” support or benefit from your sanctuary city policy. Hollywood/LA is a magnet for more and more illegals, anchor babies, and felony and drunk driving crimes by the illegal communities now widespread in the whole metropolitan area.

Political appointed hack as the head of the police department. How many crimes has he covered up for politicians to get that job?
We all know there is no way that he could ever have been a TRUE police officer.

Since the citizens of LA didn't vote on this, I welcome the feds in to end this. People are dying. Please resign.
— WarriorMama (@warriormama1019) February 15, 2020
Both you and your chief of police, are criminals, I truely hope both of you get thrown out of office for, dereliction of duty, and both your city and state lose all federal funding.

When your police chief doesn’t even care about crime , your city is screwed

If one is an illegal alien, then this is NOT their city. Or state. Or nation.
— righty64 (@righty64) February 15, 2020
In other words, Americans should stay out of LA. It’s full of criminals and they have no intention of prosecuting any of them.
Good luck with that.— Alice (@NomadsWife6973) February 15, 2020
I can understand the mayor speaking to this nonsense, but for that stooge officer on the left to reiterate what the mayor is saying is proof LA if full of spineless cops whom are a stain to police officers around the country, they are spitting on the constitution not upholding it

Also, if we have laws, they should be enforced. If you believe in open borders then fight for that and see if people support it. As long as we have borders and laws that control them, enforce those laws. You can’t say “You broke the law to be here but we welcome you.”
— Eric Racy (@EricJRacy) February 15, 2020
You should be indicted for obstruction.
— Mark J. Cain ن (@cainmarkj) February 15, 2020
Secede from the union, please.
— Charles Bowley (@charliverse) February 15, 2020
At the very least, resign if you can’t enforce the law.
