Three nonprofits are asking to represent Los Angeles voices in a federal lawsuit over Trump administration policies that cut off funding to places that do not allow local law enforcement to do immigration enforcement work.
Los Angeles is among many local jurisdictions, including cities, counties and some states, that have passed laws restricting or banning local police from working with federal immigration officers to arrest and deport residents. The city is, however, conspicuously absent from a lawsuit led by San Francisco and filed in February by more than a dozen jurisdictions with so-called sanctuary laws.
