 Los Angeles County declares emergency over immigration enforcement raids

Los Angeles County officials voted Tuesday to declare a state of emergency in response to ongoing federal immigration raids.

The declaration allows the county to provide financial and legal assistance to residents affected by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions. Introduced by Supervisors Lindsey P. Horvath and Janice Hahn, the measure passed 4-1, with Supervisor Kathryn Barger opposing.

Los Angeles County, home to more than 3 million immigrants, has seen widespread fear from the raids, according to supervisors. Officials said the operations have disrupted workplaces, local economies, and essential services, including schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Provisions in the emergency declaration include rent relief for tenants impacted by the raids and funding for legal aid and other supportive services.

The vote allows county leaders to mobilize resources, request state and federal aid, and expedite contracts to address the crisis. “What’s happening in our communities is an emergency — and Los Angeles County is treating it like one,” Horvath said. “Declaring a Local Emergency ensures that the full weight of County government is aligned to support our immigrant communities who are being targeted by federal actions.”

ICE raids began in Los Angeles in early June, prompting demonstrations, some of which turned violent. While officials initially said the deportations would focus on undocumented immigrants with criminal records, recent data show an increasing number of migrants without criminal convictions have also been arrested.

“For months, families have lived under threat and workers have been taken from job sites,” Horvath added. “This proclamation is about action and speed — it allows us to move faster, coordinate better, and use every tool available to protect and stabilize our communities. We will continue to stand with our immigrant neighbors — today, and for as long as it takes.”

The emergency declaration will remain in effect until the county board decides to end it.
