LAPD Chief Prepares to Protect Immigrants Ahead of Trump Deportation Plans

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Michel Moore is taking proactive measures to safeguard immigrants in Los Angeles in anticipation of potential mass deportations under former President Donald Trump's proposed immigration policies if he were to return to office. Chief Moore has emphasized that the LAPD will not participate in immigration enforcement, aligning with the city's sanctuary city status. He has also expressed concerns about the impact of such policies on community trust and public safety, noting that aggressive deportation tactics could lead to fear and reluctance among immigrants to report crimes or cooperate with law enforcement. Furthermore, Moore has been engaging with community leaders and organizations to reassure immigrants of their rights and the department's commitment to protecting them, regardless of their immigration status. This approach aims to maintain community cohesion and safety while navigating the political landscape surrounding immigration enforcement.
