ICE’s operations have been morally — and legally — bankrupt from day one. But in the last 24 hours: – Evidence showing ICE agents engage in racist and violent hate speech in their operations surfaced – The charges against labor leader David Huerta were so indefensible that they had to be dropped

Angelenos don’t want to be surveilled - and the law defends them from it. LA shouldn’t be working with companies that violate civil liberties, we should be protecting Angelenos from them. Ending LAPD’s relationship with Flock is a good first step. abc7.com/post/lapd-en...

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo — and Keith Porter Jr., Renee Good, Alex Pretti — need justice. Prosecuting the ICE agents that killed them and taking on ICE’s illegal operation is the bare minimum.

As Trump’s immigration crackdown continues, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death marks another high-profile killing by ICE officers

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should be alive today 🕊️ He was a father. A son. A Texan. A loved one. A human being. Instead, his family is mourning after he was killed during an ICE operation in Houston. Lorenzo deserved to come home. His family deserves answers. Our communities deserve justice

For 250 years, to love this country has been to challenge it to meet the promise of true freedom. Happy 4th of July, Los Angeles.

In a disastrous term that used the law to make it easier to target immigrants, trans kids, and voters of color, the Supreme Court did one thing right today: they upheld birthright citizenship.

Only one of us has a plan. My City Attorney's office will be an aggressive force for accountability and justice for our communities.

Standing with thousands of entertainment workers as LA’s Supervisors assess the harm of the Warner Bros-Paramount merger. As City Attorney, I’ll join the California Department of Justice’s investigation and take every action to #BlockTheMerger.

A Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors report warns that the pending Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery merger could result in significant job losses.

As LA City Attorney, it will be my job to hold companies accountable for putting our communities in danger. If elected, I will immediately open an investigation into Lineage Logistics, the owner of the warehouse in the ongoing Boyle Heights fire.

The results are still early, but Angelenos sent a clear message in yesterday’s primary that they’re ready for a change, and for a City Attorney that fights for the people. This—the support at the polls, unseating a current incumbent—was possible because of the people power behind this campaign.

For the past year and a half, Traci Park has been telling CD11 constituents that the Venice Dell affordable housing project is “dead.” Well guess what? As of this past week it’s clear that the project is not dead and it never was. Traci has been lying.

LA deserves so much better. In this moment, someone who knows how to sue the Trump administration, and someone who knows how to fight corporate abuse. I have that expertise — and as city attorney, I will lead those fights on day one.

For Citywide offices we endorse @kennethmejiala.bsky.social for City Controller and @marissaroyla.bsky.social for City Attorney. LA is wrecked by lawsuit settlements over broken infrastructure and NIMBYism because we prefer bandaid solutions - instead we need investments in a City that works for all

"The most important, least understood position," and I'm going to change that. Angelenos’ city attorney could be holding bad landlords, abusive corporations, and the Trump administration accountable. The difference is, I'II actually do it— just like I have my whole career. 8 days left to vote.
