Los Angeles creates a fund to protect immigrants from deportation

City of Los Angeles on Monday announced the creation of a fund of $ 10 million to provide legal assistance to residents who face deportation, according to Donald Trump's immigration policy, according to Los Angeles Times.

If approved by lawmakers, local governments in Los Angeles will be able to use public funds to challenge immigration policies pursued by the White House and Republicans in Congress.

The Foundation represents another provocation against the Trump program in a democratic California.

According to statistics, immigrants who have their representative offices are more likely to succeed in court.

However, some opponents of illegal immigration have criticized this move, saying it is a waste of taxpayer money that impedes the federal government’s immigration policies.

Los Angeles officials "must help citizens, not spend taxes, to pay for illegal assistance services," said Robin Gwidson, executive director of We the People Rising, created to combat illegal immigration. She added that it would be better to spend money on unemployed citizens, veterans, the disabled and the elderly.

The legal fund will receive at least $ 5 million from the city and county government. Charity groups will donate the rest of the money. California Endowment, the largest private health fund, plans to provide $ 2 million to the fund.

A legal fund established to assist immigrants who cannot afford lawyers should make similar efforts at state and national level to ensure the protection of migrants.

The city decided to take this step after immigration groups demanded that political leaders in Los Angeles take a tougher stance on the policies of the newly elected president from the Republican Party Donald Trump.

More than 1 million of 11 millions of immigrants without legal status live in Los Angeles County, and local groups argue that the city should be prepared for the threat of deportation.

Mayor Eric Garcetti said the fund will help the region's "most vulnerable" immigrants.

Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel this month announced a $1,3 million “legal defense” fund in partnership with the National Immigration Justice Center.

San Francisco is also considering various plans to help fund legal services for immigrants, while in New York it is already directing money for such programs.

Recall that President-elect Donald Trump repeatedly statedthat he would “focus on identifying and deporting the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants,” creating a task force within Immigration and Customs Enforcement to do so.
