LA’s Misguided Sanctuary City Declaration
In a stunning display of constitutional defiance and utter disregard for law-abiding citizens, the Los Angeles City Council has unanimously passed a “sanctuary city” ordinance. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill liberal virtue signaling; it’s a full-blown invitation for illegal immigrants to set up shop in the City of Angels, consequences be damned.
Let’s break down this lunacy, shall we? The ordinance prohibits the use of city resources and personnel for federal immigration enforcement. In other words, LA is now officially in the business of obstructing justice and thumbing its nose at federal law. It’s as if they’ve rolled out a red carpet for those who’ve entered the country illegally, while giving the middle finger to hardworking, tax-paying Americans.
Los Angeles leaders are weighing a "sanctuary city" ordinance and a measure for all public schools which would limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

A Slap in the Face to Law and Order
Mayor Karen Bass, ever the beacon of misguided progressivism, is chomping at the bit to sign this travesty into law. Her enthusiasm for protecting lawbreakers over law-abiding citizens is nothing short of breathtaking. But wait, it gets better. Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez, in a moment of unparalleled delusion, declared:
“We’re going to send a very clear message that the city of Los Angeles will not cooperate with ICE in any way.” – Soto-Martinez
Well, isn’t that special? LA’s elected officials are now openly bragging about obstructing federal law enforcement. It’s as if they’ve forgotten that their primary duty is to protect and serve their legal residents, not to mention uphold the Constitution they swore to defend.
The Real Cost of “Sanctuary”
Let’s talk numbers, folks. Los Angeles is home to a staggering 1.3 million migrants. That’s not a typo. Now, with this new ordinance, they’re essentially hanging a “Welcome” sign for even more illegal immigrants to pour in. Who’s going to foot the bill for this open-border extravaganza? You guessed it – the hardworking, law-abiding taxpayers of Los Angeles.
“We are extremely concerned, given that this is a city where about a third of the population is immigrants.” – Shiu-Ming Cheer
BREAKING: With a 13-0 vote, the LA City Council adopted a "sanctuary city" ordinance today to prohibit the use of city resources and staff for federal immigration enforcement efforts.

Oh, we’re concerned alright, Ms. Cheer. But not for the reasons you think. We’re concerned about the strain on public services, the impact on job markets, and the complete disregard for the rule of law. But hey, as long as it makes the progressives feel good about themselves, who cares about the long-term consequences, right?
A Beacon of Defiance in Trump’s America
It’s no coincidence that this ordinance comes hot on the heels of President-elect Donald Trump’s plans for stricter immigration enforcement. The leftist establishment in LA is so terrified of actual border security that they’re willing to turn their city into a lawless free-for-all just to spite the incoming administration.
Trump’s team, wisely, has refrained from commenting on this circus. But let’s be clear: when the federal government decides to enforce immigration law – as it should – LA’s little sanctuary bubble will burst faster than you can say “constitutional crisis.”
In the end, this ordinance is nothing more than political theater – expensive, dangerous political theater. It’s a slap in the face to every legal immigrant who followed the rules, every citizen who believes in law and order, and every taxpayer who’ll be forced to bankroll this madness. Los Angeles may think it’s taking a stand, but all it’s really doing is laying out the welcome mat for chaos.
