Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles has announced that the city will funnel cash to illegals who are hiding from ICE to avoid arrest. The cash cards, in an unspecified amount, will be handed out by pro-migrant organizations. The money, the mayor says, will come from the city’s philanthropic partners, not directly from city funds.
The announcement, made Friday, also included an executive order to all city departments not to cooperate with federal agencies enforcing immigration laws.
The money will be available in “about a week.” It is not clear how one qualifies for the give-away.
