flag LA County to vote on emergency declaration after federal raids sparked fear and layoffs, including at CDC.

flag Los Angeles County officials are set to vote on declaring a state of emergency due to federal immigration raids that have caused widespread fear and financial strain, particularly among renters. flag The move, backed by some supervisors, would unlock rent relief and legal aid funding, though opponents argue it doesn’t meet emergency criteria and could harm landlords. flag The decision follows a 4-1 board vote to advance the measure. flag Meanwhile, hundreds of federal health workers, including those at the CDC and SAMHSA, were laid off in a sweeping purge during a government shutdown, sparking concerns over public health readiness. flag Many CDC employees were later told their layoffs were mistaken. flag The firings, part of a broader effort to pressure lawmakers, have raised alarms about long-term damage to public health infrastructure.
