Amid Tense Immigration Climate, LAPD Revises Rules For Working With ICE, Place-Of-Birth Questions
Over the last year, Beck and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti have expressed concern that the talk of ramping up of immigration enforcement under Trump's administration could damage the trust local law enforcement has built up with the immigrant community, making it harder to keep the city safe. As an example, city officials and leaders pointed to the plummeting rate of calls from the Latino community reporting sexual assault and domestic violence. Beck's directive, which was issued Dec. 29, updates the department's rules to better align with SB 54, the California Values Act, a state bill that limits local law enforcement's coordination with federal immigration agencies.
