Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is trying to expedite a sanctuary city ordinance, pushing back against President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.

The ordinance would prohibit the use of city resources for federal immigration enforcement. It could also mean potential legal battles as the Trump administration prepares to use ICE and the military to carry out the campaign promise of mass deportations.

An estimated 1.8 million undocumented immigrants live in California, more than any other state, with nearly a million in Los Angeles County.
