LA County Supervisors to ICE: Keep Off County Property, Parking Lots, Parks
The ordinance aims to protect county operations by banning unauthorized federal immigration enforcement on property, with possible federal funding risks exceeding $1 billion, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously directed county counsel to draft an ordinance creating `ICE-Free Zones` and place it on the agenda within 30 days.
- Following recent raids in the county, officials pointed to immigration operations in East Los Angeles, Eagle Rock, El Sereno, Highland Park, and the October 8, 2025 federal raid at Deane Dana Friendship Park and Nature Center in San Pedro.
- The ordinance would require signage and physical controls stating county facilities cannot be used for unauthorized civil enforcement, mandate permits from county departments for staging, and define "staging area" for deployment outside regular operations.
- Officials warned the measure could trigger federal litigation and threaten substantial federal funding, while federal prosecutors and ICE officials emphasized legal consequences for obstruction.
- Supporters argue the measure protects public spaces and reduces fear, noting county residents avoided parks and staff were diverted, while the director of internal services would identify county properties vulnerable to unauthorized enforcement.
