L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Promises Illegal Aliens Cash Amid ICE Raids<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Ah, California. With U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents’ continued raids throughout Southern California, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced Friday that undocumented migrants in the city will receive prepaid cash cards funded by philanthropic donors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

According to the Los Angeles Times<\/em><\/a>, the mayor stated that the aid would amount to \u201ca couple hundred\u201d dollars per recipient and emphasized that \u201cmoney will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program is set to begin within the week. <\/strong>As reported by the Times<\/em>, the cash cards \u201cshould be available in about a week,\u201d and will be distributed \u201cby immigrants rights groups such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.\u201d The mayor\u2019s office added that \u201cthe city will coordinate between philanthropists and organizations distributing the cards<\/strong>,\u201d the Times<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Just IN \ud83d\udea8: LA Mayor Bass announces ‘cash assistance’ program to immigrant families affected by ICE raids. The idea is to begin handing out ‘cash’ debit cards families by next week.<\/p>\n

Bass described the fear and uncertainty that some undocumented residents are experiencing in the wake of heightened immigration enforcement. She said there were migrants \u201cwho don\u2019t want to leave their homes,\u201d and are \u201cnot going to work.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The announcement came during a press conference in which Bass signed an executive order \u201cdirecting all city departments to \u2018bolster protocols\u2019 and training on how to comply with the city\u2019s sanctuary policy,\u201d according to the Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This policy action follows a separate declaration from Bass on July 8, when she announced that the city would be \u201cjoining a private class action civil lawsuit\u201d in response to ICE raids conducted under President Donald Trump\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

The developments underscore Los Angeles\u2019s ongoing resistance to federal immigration enforcement and reflect its broader sanctuary city stance, even as tensions rise over the legality and scope of such local initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
