I was proud to join @cagovernor as he signed new immigration bills, including "No Secret Police Act" and 805, "No Vigilantes Act" today.

The withdrawal of the 700 active-duty Marines from Los Angeles County is long overdue. There is no place for a militarized presence in our communities—especially when residents are peacefully demonstrating and exercising their constitutional rights.

Our immigrant communities are afraid to go to their doctor's appointments, pick up medications, and go to the grocery store. This is unacceptable.

Today, the Board of Supervisors approved my motion to expand health and social services for immigrant families, which includes increasing access to telehealth services, food deliveries, and more. We cannot let fear prevent people from getting the health care or support they need.

We will stand together and continue to call for an end to these unlawful raids. If you or someone you know has been impacted by the raids, please contact our Office of Immigrant Affairs at 1-800-593-8222 or dial 2-1-1 to be connected to resources.

Today, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved my motion with Supervisor Horvath directing LA County to explore potential legal action against unconstitutional immigration enforcement practices, including illegal search and seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

On Juneteenth, we honor freedom, power, and progress. It’s a day of celebration, recognition, and continued support of justice.    Remember, progress lives in our unity and action.

Today, I’m proud to introduce a new motion with my coauthor @supjanicehahn.bsky.social, to assess the economic impacts of the ongoing immigration raids and ensure we support our working families and businesses that have been affected.

Across the country, and right here in Los Angeles County, entire communities have united in protest of President Trump and the many federal actions that continue to harm our families.

Today I had a meaningful conversation with @jensiebelnewsom.bsky.social, where we discussed current events and explored ways to better support Angelenos.

My statement on California’s win for Los Angeles communities. Our communities deserve protection, not militarization.

This morning, my office received reports of immigration enforcement activity in Boyle Heights involving a deeply disturbing incident: two unmarked vehicles, believed to be operated by ICE agents, crashed into a civilian car with two children inside.

The LA County Board of Supervisors today approved my motion with @supjanicehahn.bsky.social to take action in response to the recent immigration raids. Our communities are resilient, but they should never have to live in fear or face family separation.

Over the past 24 hours, numerous reports have emerged of ICE activity across Los Angeles County. In response, many in our community, including advocacy groups and concerned residents, have exercised their First Amendment rights to protest peacefully and speak out against these actions.

Last night, there were multiple reports of ICE activity, along with other federal agencies, in Chinatown. Their presence sparked renewed fear and concern, particularly as they gathered in the parking lot on Hill Street.

Today's immigration sweeps across the First District in downtown Los Angeles, Westlake, and Cypress Park are deeply disturbing. The individuals detained are hardworking Angelenos who contribute to our local economy and labor force every day.

Today, I had the honor of joining the César Chávez Foundation and the City of Montebello for the grand opening of the Vista de JJ Rodriguez Apartments, named in tribute to JJ Rodriguez, a prominent labor and community leader.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who fought for our country and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I’m proud to have authored today’s motion, which will be a critical step in ensuring that immigrant students, students in mixed-status families, and every student in Los Angeles County have access to knowledge and education without fear or barriers.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Alexis Herman, the first Black U.S. Secretary of Labor and a dear friend.

This year marks the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, a tragic chapter in history where 1.5 million Armenians were killed.

Me uno a millones de personas en el condado de Los Ángeles y en todo el mundo al lamentar el fallecimiento del Papa Francis. Como primer Papa latinoamericano, aportó una perspectiva fresca y profundamente humana a la Iglesia católica y al mundo.

I join millions across Los Angeles County and around the globe in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. As the first pope from Latin America, he brought a fresh and deeply human perspective to the Catholic Church and to the world.

I am extremely alarmed by the Trump Administration's proposed sharp cuts to federal funding that supports critical health programs, including those operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH).

Over the past few months, the federal policy changes on immigration have instilled a deep, chilling fear among immigrant communities, including here in Los Angeles County, with K-12 schools reporting declines in school attendance, due to fear of immigration enforcement actions.

Today, the Board of Supervisors received the CEO’s $47.9 billion Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Despite limited resources, I continue to advocate for vital programs that support our most vulnerable residents.

Overjoyed to hear LA28 has decided to host two 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games at two Los Angeles County venues within the First District!

Today, I met with 501CTHREE to present a $330k investment for nine Water Boxes in the First District. These Water Boxes, such as the one located at Clinica Romero, will provide fresh, cool water that is free and easily accessible to community members.

Fue un placer estar presente para esta ocasión!

This morning, I joined @metrolosangeles.bsky.social and A Community of Friends to celebrate the grand opening of Boyle Heights’ newest affordable housing project—the Lorena Plaza Apartments!

Today we officially proclaimed April 10, 2025 as Dolores Huerta Day — ahead of her 95th birthday! Dolores’ life is a testament to resilience, resistance, and unyielding dedication to justice. I am deeply honored to have had the privilege of marking this occasion with her this morning.

Mientras la administración Trump empuja a nuestra nación cada vez más cerca de una recesión, los republicanos del Congreso están avanzando una legislación perjudicial destinada a recortar los programas críticos de los que dependen nuestros residentes más vulnerables del Condado de Los Ángeles.

As the Trump Administration pushes our nation closer to a recession, Congressional Republicans are advancing harmful legislation aimed at slashing critical safety net programs that our most vulnerable Los Angeles County residents rely on.
