Los Angeles is a “sanctuary city” for migrants. This unofficial status corresponds to policies implemented by certain local authorities. They aim to limit information on the illegal foreigners they share with the federal authorities. In some cases, local policies even have to arrest a migrant in an irregular situation alone on the basis of his migratory status. The Californian megalopolis adopted this status in November 2024, in the wake of the election of Donald Trump.
A policy strongly denounced by the American administration, which wishes to deprive sanctuary cities from federal subsidies. Since his return to the head of the United States, the republican leader has multiplied initiatives to expel as many undocumented migrants as possible. The Ministry of Internal Security said that operations carried out by immigration police officers in Los Angeles had led to the arrest of 118 foreigners this week, including five gang members.
