LA City Council bans city employees from working with federal immigration agencies to protect community trust.
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a motion banning city and sworn personnel from working for federal immigration enforcement agencies like ICE, CBP, and DHS, aiming to protect community trust and align with local policies opposing federal immigration collaboration.
The move, led by Council members Monica Rodriguez and Ysabel Jurado, addresses a gap in current rules allowing outside employment without restriction and directs the city’s legal team to draft an ordinance.
The ban could extend to roles in data analysis, legal support, and outreach tied to immigration enforcement.
The policy does not apply to elected officials or part-time board members.
The LAPD said it has not seen recruitment impacts from federal hiring incentives and remains focused on public safety.
