Cities across the US are making preparations to protect immigrants from Donald Trump’s planned mass deportation program during his second presidency. Los Angeles passed an ordinance in November that prohibits municipal resources from being used for federal immigration enforcement.

As Los Angeles rebuilds from a devastating wildfire that destroyed swaths of Pacific Palisades, the city's access to federal money could be imperiled by one of President Trump's first-day immigration actions targeting "sanctuary cities.

The city is still hoping to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grant money even as it recently strengthened its sanctuary protections.

On his first full day back in the White House, President Donald Trump once again took aim at sanctuary policies in California and other states, threatening to investigate local police who don’t help his administration carry out mass deportations.
