paying jobs are created around scientist. We intend to have 5000 people in this building. So is going to be massive for Los Angeles. I'm an older guy, but this will absolutely affect my children's lives. This going to change medicine instead giving people pills. We're going to give them a vaccination. They're Not going to get cervical cancer. We're not going to get liver. They're not going to get breast cancer. This going to change the world. Councilwoman Tracy Park joined Laker legend, James Worthy and LA Public Library at the Westchester Loyola Village branch. There they unveiled remodel spaces will serve up an assist and some reading and learning wins. We are out at the Loyola branch here at Westchester Park and we have this incredible partnership between public libraries and the LA Lakers. They have redone our reading rooms here in the library. James Worthy himself, the Laker legend himself, is here reading to the kids. We are really investing in this partnership that is about a love of learning and an investment in our young people, in our city. It's just incredibly fun to be out here today and to see our entire community coming in, to enjoy this wonderful new space. In the kids area. We created a space where can come together, sit and designate kid areas and be able to talk and read along with a lot of the guest speakers will come to the library and help encourage reading in the teaming area, know that tech is a big thing. So we wanted make sure that they had the appropriate spaces to be able to charge up their devices well as to be able to use their laptops in a private area, to be able to keep up on their studies. And of course, a safe space to be able to work. Well, reading is continuous thing. It starts at home and. It's the first thing that you need in life in order to grow and, to become yourself. It's a way to educate yourself. Gives kids hope at an early age, allows their imagination to flow and guides them throughout their life. So reading is everlasting . I just think it's an amazing thing to revive libraries and them and give these kids everything they need before they get into early stages of life at that early age, six, seven, eight years old, give them a space and, a place to let their minds grow so. It's a great project. One of our messages today is we are not only a city of champions to LA, Lakers and other teams, but we're also a city of readers. We have 7 million books here at our libraries throughout the city, but we also have millions of ebooks that people can check out and know in the world, checks out more ebooks than the LA Public Library. So The Los Angeles Public Library is just such incredibly dynamic institution. The fact that we've got James Worthy here today, it doesn't get any better than having a Lakers legend like that here at the library talking to kids about how important it is to be a reader and sending the message that kids who read succeed. There's a new Malcolm X way on Crenshaw Boulevard. Councilwoman Heather Hutt joined , community leaders to celebrate the legacy of Malcolm X and put him on the map. South La. This is amazing day where. We are celebrating 100 years of Malcolm X's birthday by a dedication. We are naming Malcolm X way down Boulevard. This is an important location because we are at King Boulevard. So we were King and Malcolm X me, this is an opportunity to spark interest especially for our children and our community. Well, they'll be like, oh, why is say that? And there's an opportunity to talk about self-determination self reliance self and really the difference makers and the truth teller that Malcolm X was the idea here is that to men that wrote some great history for the United States and for the world to great minds that of Martin Luther King and of Malcolm X meets bond. These two corners together to help write and rewrite the history of the United States and America. The organization Family, Family ally, the Foundation for Arts and Mentoring Leadership and Innovation is the founding architect organization that keeps the legacy of Malcolm X alive in the city of Los Angeles. We've Been doing that since 1992. Two years ago we realized the dream to bring Malcolm X's name to the street on Crenshaw. And so we now have Councilwoman Heather Hutt to thank Congresswoman MAXINE Waters. Thank Councilman Markey's harris-dawson and others who helped us to push this truth, honor a man who gave his life for us. Minister Malcolm X, a human rights leader not a civil rights leader. A human rights leader. We've an artist. And being a former member of the Black Panther Party in his sixties, it was significant for me to create this artwork, his image and. It's very important for us to recognize wise people like Malcolm X who put his life on the line and freedom on the line to fight against. Malcolm X. The human rights is something all of us are born with. Civil rights is something we had to for bleed and die for. Civil rights is something somebody gives you. Human God gives you. So every human that's born should have human rights, rights of freedom, the rights of freedom of expression freedom of speech. And so today, more than ever before in our lives, we're fighting for human rights. Malcolm X was someone who proved that is possible, that no matter where you that you can end in the right. If you dedicate yourself and have and love for yourself and for your understand your history and your culture and you can do it. Then you can turn your life around and the lives of millions of other people. As Malcolm did. The geography of Los Angeles brings its own challenges when it comes to flooding the.

Although the Great War predates library, there's a unique connection between the Memorial Branch and World one. More than a century on this Branch Library pays tribute to the past while supporting the current community community. My name is Frances Jaffe and I am the senior librarian, which now called branch manager at Memorial Library. We're the 49th branch of the Los Angeles Published nine out of 72. The alumni and the student Body Association commissioned. These stained glass commemorations to 20 alumni who perished in the Great War. We have activities for every level. So we have activities.

And now the adult librarian is continuing programs for adults as well. So we have adult art class, an adult needlework class. These are all once a week , once a month, first Fridays book club. During the Heat, the recent wave, you couldn't get a seat this library to the point that we had adults sitting over in the little children's and not only an official cooling center a meeting place and people were like making friends and yeah isn't it? And I love that part. It is a group effort. It's not as versus them as guests. They in and they feel I'm here. What a feeling. In this week's feature story, a world famous house by celebrate architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and it epitomizes his ideas of California living named for his client favorite flower hollyhock house is the city of LA's first UNESCO's World Heritage Site. Hollyhock House is Frank Lloyd first Los Angeles Commission. He's probably most celebrated 20th century architect. Hollyhock House is really this exciting where Wright was coming to California trying to imagine what a California house should be. Wright described it as California romance and romance of being a musical term, meaning free form. It really is a romantic embrace of the natural beauty, the creative freedom that LA represents. We are the city's UNESCO's World Heritage Site. It Speaks to the importance of this site. We are the only cultural UNESCO's site in California or joining the redwoods Yosemite to natural sites as California landmarks with this designation an. It was a commission for Ilene Barnsdall an oil heiress she purchased this unique hilltop property in Angeles. It's one of these pretty rare green spaces in this part of town. Panoramic views of the city. Burn salt. Gifted the property to, the city. And in 1926, she really wanted to ensure that it went into the care of people who deeply appreciated its beauty and found it a stimulation and that's pulling from a quote from herself. And I think her arranging for the California Art Club to use Hollyhock as its headquarters. It really was a space is both inspiration and also engaged with the art community and that carries through to today. We're really seeking find opportunities to bring artists back in dialogue with these spaces, to have them bring new perspectives on this really important. L.A. has such a rich and, diverse art and architecture community, you know, as Birdsall intended, this this was meant to be a place of inspiration inspiration. As much as we work to make it feel like you're being transported to 1921, this isn't a static place and that those changes over time are part of an important history and that there have been really important. Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright's son, Rudolph. And to have all of these voices collaboratively to make Hollyhock House what it is today is just such a privilege. It has been city owned for nearly century. What has been realized ? City stewardship really is quite remarkable, is very much living up to her ambitions for the site. We encourage people to follow us on social media on our Instagram. In this week's Things to Do, head to the Central Library for June Jubilee.

THANK YOU. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT AND OUR AMENDMENT HAS BEEN SECONDED AND CIRCULATED. ALL RIGHT, WE WANT TO GET THAT SO IT Rodriguez Thank you, colleagues. I appreciate the spirit with which item 16 was introduced. So that we can have a comprehensive conversation and evaluating the success or failures of the work that's being done with respect to homelessness. The problem around this new bureau and deriving this information is that the source of the information that we're evaluating is still flawed and that we're still relying on lausa, which has been repeatedly documented for their failure to even track the performance of the contracts that they are executing on our behalf. So it doesn't matter who's reporting it out here, where we're getting this data from is still flawed and fails to perform. And so I look forward to what time I introduce a couple of motions going back to the first motion about centralizing this work to bring this in-house. Since we have seen repeated examples of how of to track this data, which sort of goes to the conversation being scheduled to cover the I know pending report coming back where I had requested that the city bring into our own control the outreach contracts and services that are currently being managed by LAHSA because they we cannot get a firm accounting. It's been repeated demonstrated by some of the reports that have been issuedHA WHISTLEBLOWER REPORTS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY EVEN OUR OWN FUNDED AUDIT, THAT THEY CAN'T TRACK OR ACCOUNT FOR THE WORK THAT IS BEING PERFORMED NOR FOR THE DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING SPENT. SO PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT, PERFORMANCE DATA, SOURCED, WITH DATA FROM AN AGENCY THAT IS PROVEN REPEATEDLY THAT THEY'RE INCAPABLE OF GIVING US THE DATA, REALLY DOESN'T MATTER. WHAT IS IT REALLY MEASURING? SO I LOOK FORWARD TO A TIME WHEN WE CAN BRING THIS IN-HOUSE AND MANAGE DIRECTLY THE OUTCOMES WITH THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS THAT WE'RE FUNDING FOR SERVICES THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO BE DELIVERED ON OUR STREETS. SO AGAIN, THIS IS GREAT, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING UNTIL WE START BRINGING IN THESE SERVICES IN-HOUSE AND MANAGING DIRECTLY AND ACTUALLY GETTING AN ACCOUNTING FROM OUR OWN STAFF BECAUSE LAHSA HAS CONTINUED TO PROOF AND REPEATEDLY DEMONSTRATED THEIR FAILURE TO GIVE US ACCURATE DATA OR FRANKLY WITHHOLDING DATA BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO ANYBODY TO LOOK BAD. AND FOR THAT REASON, I THINK THIS, THIS IS GREAT, BUT DOESN'T EFFECTIVELY DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT. SO I LOOK FORWARD FOR THE CONVERSATION BEING HELD WHERE WE CAN BRING THESE CONTRACTS IN-HOUSE AND CONTINUE, TO AFFORD THEM CHANCE WITH TAXPAYER DOLLAR. THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU SO MUCH. SEEING NO OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS OPEN, THE ROLL, CLOSE THE ROLL, TABULATE THE VOTE. >> Clerk: 15 AYES. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE 15 AYES ON THIS, COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ? OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S NEXT? >> Clerk: MR. PRESIDENT, THE COUNCIL MAY PROCEED TO THE PRESENTATION FOR PRAYERS AND CALLS FOR PEACEFUL PROTEST. >> Council President: ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY WE HAVE ALL WITNESSED AND BEEN A PART OF LAST FOUR DAYS IN OUR CITY WHEN, WE HEARD THE FIRST SET OF DIS TUFSHS ANSES AT HOME DEPOT DOWNTOWN LAST WEEK. COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ SHOWED UP TO THE FLOOR IN TEARS BECAUSE WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN HER DISTRICT AND THAT SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND THE REGION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE ALL SAW WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEKEND AND WHAT HAPPENED THROUGH AS LATE AS LAST NIGHT. BOTH ARE NONSENSECAL, PERHAPS ILLEGAL, DEFINITELY DISRUPTIVE AND COUNTER PROACTIVE, DEPLOYMENT OF THE NATIONAL MILITARY TO LOS ANGELES STREETS, AGAINST THE WISHES OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OF OUR MAYOR, THE OUR GOVERN AND ALMOST EVERY ONE ELSE THAT HAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY IN THE STREETS IN OUR CITY. WE'VE ALSO SEEN HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PEACEFULLY PROTEST. WE'VE ALSO SEEN PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE PROTESTS TO ENGAGE IN VARIOUS FORMS OF CRIMINALITY. THERE IS POSITIVE ENERGY AND SOME NEGATIVE ENERGY. THIS MOMENT IS FOR US, ONE OF THOSE TOUGH MOMENT THAT'S WE FACE IN OUR CITY FROM TIME TO TIME. THOSE OF US WHO LIVE HERE AND GROWN-UP HERE, KNOW THAT WE FACE THESE MOMENTS, WE GET THROUGH THEM, WE RECOVER THROUGH THEM. BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO TOGETHER. SO TODAY WE'LL HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING AND A NUMBER OF SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDING HEARING FROM OUR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS LEADERS FROM OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HEARING FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH REGARD TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. BUT WE WANTED BEGIN ALL OF THAT THIS CONVERSATION TODAY, WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF SOME OF OUR FAITH LEADERS FROM AROUND THE CITY, FROM VARIOUS FAITHS AND GENDERS AND VAROUS TRADITIONS. SO I'M GOING TO CALL THE CLERGY UP TO THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT AND ASK A FEW OF THEM TO LEAD US AND START US OFF WITH A PRAYER ON BEHALF OF OUR CITY. >> Speaker: Check my. Name in creator.

[APPLAUSE] >> Speaker: ALL ITEMS AND GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney: OKAY, GOOD MORNING, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR THE ITEMS AND ONE MINUTE FOR GENERAL. GO AHEAD. >> Speaker: ALL RIGHT, ITEM 29 IS A GET, CALLS FORGIVEN CITY FUNDS TO THE POLICE FOUNDATION, SO THIS IS THE FOUNDATION THAT GIVES DONATIONS, FIRST OFF THE CITY IS NOT FUNDING FOR THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THOSE SOURCES OF FUNDING TOO AND ANY DONATIONS IN GENERAL, IS A PROBLEM BUT WE HAVE HERE, WE ARE GIVING CITY FUNDS TO THE CITY POLICE FOUNDATION TAKE ITING FROM OTHER CITY FUNDS. AND IT'S A BACK DOORWAY OF GIVING MORE MONEY TO THE LAPD AND FUNDING ALL KINDS OF, YOU KNOW, PRIVILEGE LUCE PARTIES THAT THEY--FRIVOLOUS PARTIES AND BUYING ALL KINDS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT, WITHOUT MAKING IT LIKE THE CITY IS FUNDING THOSE THINGS. THAT'S WLA ITEM 29 SEEKS TO DO. WE HAVE A FEW MOABSINGS TO LIGHT UP CITY HALL WHICH IS WHERE YOU SPEND $400 TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING AND CARE ABOUT AN ISSUE WHEN YOU'RE DOING NOTHING ABUT THAT ISSUE AND DON'T ACTUALLY CARE. WE LIGHT UP CITY HALL FOR, NORTH MASSDOANIA THERE, FOR A NIGHTCLUB FIRE THERE. AGAIN, WE A minute here. Who is constantly brutalizes attacks members the LGBTQ community kills them like Glenda Becerra. Moran thinks like that. And you've got. But but what are you doing? What are you doing to protect the LGBTQ community from Trump's continuous attacks on on the LGBTQ, LGBTQ community? But. But you'll light up City Hall, make it look like you care when you really aren't doing anything. We have item 33, which is funding for fireworks enforcement and overtime patrols and said to for July 4th. Is this where the LAPD is going to go take fireworks. Gather them all together, get the press together and then blow up a neighborhood like they like they've done before. So this is what they often do when they get fireworks. They go and they blow up a neighborhood. And that neighborhood, the LAPD blew up a few years ago, is still recovering from all of that. I think people are still displaced from it. But but keep having the LAPD collect more fireworks and keep bnl and then they can go and blow up a neighborhood, I guess. All right. Let's move on to General public comment. Okay. You have one minute. Okay Glad John Lee's here. What's with your statement, John? Why? What was with your statement the other day? Because it's you seemed very unconcerned about what's going on, and you seem like you were more concerned about property damage and things like that. What we've got here WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THAT TRUMP HAS DECIDED TO ATTACK L.A. WITH THESE MASS IMMIGRATION RAIDS AND WE'VE GOT WE'VE GAOT --GOT THE NATIONAL GUARD, AND MARINES AND LAPD, FIRING ABOUT 400, INJURING PEOPLE, ATTACKING PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST AGAINST WHAT TRUMP IS DOING AND WHAT TRUMP IS Good morning. Which items would you like to speak to? A non agenda item. Okay. So one minute for general. Go ahead. Okay. My name is John Urquiza. I'm from KD 14. I spent the last year as a community organizer, last ten years as a community, areas. But I'm also a landlord and I'm here to support the Keep L.A. House Coalition's recommendations. 3% cap with no floor, no rent banking, no increases for utilities, or additional occupancy. In my years as a landlord, I've not seen a utility increase that. Supersedes the 3% cap. You can put them all together and aggregate them and you still don't reach 3. So let's keep 3. It's an necessary change. 5% is an automatic eviction for most tenants. Also I want to speak about the additional occupants. The 10% bump, adding those. Adding those is not fair because in some neighborhoods you have similar buildings where you'll have a 20 $800 apartment and an 1800 dollar apartment. But they're both going to be charged with a 10% bump. I think those need to be negotiated through the lease. Before the time has expired. Next speaker And as we're waiting for the next speaker to come up, if you run out of time or if your name is not called because we run out of time for speakers, you're always welcome to provide written public comment at LA Council Comment. Again, that is L.A. Council comment. You can find that URL at the top of every council agenda. You can also do SEARCH AND IT SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING THAT POPS UP. WHAT ITEM WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: PUBLIC COMMENT.

THERE IS A LOT OF CONVERSATION HAPPENING NOT JUST IN DISTRICT 8 BUT IN DIFFERENT OFFICES. SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR FROM YOUR SMALL LANDLORD CONSTITUENTS THAT ARE SUPPORTING SOMETHING TO HOUSE TENANTS AND TO NOT CREATE MORE HOMELESSNESS, THANK YOU. >> Clerk: OKAY, WOULD I LIKE TO CALL OUT MORE NAMES. ISAAC FLORENCE GRIFFIN GRACE, AMID CON, L.WAYNE, LOUIS A GI LAR COLE. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, WHICH ITEM WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? Abductions and all the while you, the people sitting up here chose to show your true white supremacism as you sat back and watch this. Hundreds of cops beat the people of the city. What power you have to command pigs to sit atop horses and literally physically trample people. The city is defending itself against the vile ways you have been collaborating with ICE and immigration enforcement. While your stance has been to double down on behalf of ICE and find thousands of rubber bullets at the people defending themselves. This is your violence in the streets, but it is underscored by your violence that happens at all hours of every day while you sit up there talking about a sanctuary city. Your green light, the programs that facilitate mass deportations without you even having to lift a finger. Your automatic license plate readers fusion centers and real time crime centers allow people to be tracked, surveilled and hunted so that you can focus instead on hiding the violence of the pigs on the street. You end up. Good morning. Which items would you like to speak to? Number three. Okay, So you have one minute for the item. Go ahead. Great Good morning. My name is Manny Diaz. I'm here to speak in favor of the convenience and necessity letter for type 90 Alcoholic Beverage Control License at the Tarragon Ballroom at Tarragon Grand Ballroom has been operating as a music venue at this location since 2014, and that year the Planning Department approved their QB request and again approve their subsequent request. In 2019. These processes involved extensive reviews of security plans and noise mitigation strategies and involve a greatO REACH. I'LL ALSO NOTE THAT THE TWO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RECEIVED FROM CITY COUNCIL. APPLICANTS NOTICED EVERY RESIDENT, THEY PUT UP A POSTER FOR 30 YEARS AND THERE IS NO COMMENTS OR OPPOSITION MADE FOR THIS REQUEST. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO ADDITIONAL LICENSES WILL BE ADDED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A RESULT. THE OPERATIONS REMAIN UNCHANGE, IT'S JUST A PROCEDURAL BECAUSE THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS NOT CARVED OUT FOR THAT LICENSE. THANK YOU. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: HI, THIS IS GENERAL COMMENT. >> City Attorney: YOU HAVE A MINUTE. >> Speaker: I'M DAISY QUI NON*E S. SUNDAY AT 2:40 P.M., WE LATINO GOT GATHER TO EXERCISE OUR FIRST RIGHTS. THE LAPD ASKED TO US LEAVE, THEY POPPED RUBBER BULLETS AND GOT AGGRESSIVE AND VIOLENCE. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE MAYOR LIE. AND THEY SAY, WE THE PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY BROWN PEOPLE, ARE EN SIGHTING VIOLENCE, THAT'S A LIE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. YOU ARE IN THIS POSITION, ALL OF TO YOU SPEAK UP FOR US AND STOP THIS ON GOING OPPRESSION! I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT LAPD AND NEWS OUTLETS, TWIST THE NARRATIVE AND SAY WE ARE VIOLENT AND WE ARE ASSEMBLED IN PEACE. WE ARE SEEING THE DISCRIMINATION WITH OUR OWN VERY EYES AND WE'RE NOT DUMB. [BUZZARD] DO SOMETHING FOR US, STAND UP FOR US. >> City Attorney: SPEAKER YOUR TIME IS EXPIRED. NEXT SPEAKER. >> Clerk: BEFORE THE NEXT SPEAKER SPEAKS, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL UP MORE NAMES. M ROOF TOP, SISTER HE IS ESTRELLA, RED CHIEF. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, WHAT ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: ALL ITEMS AND GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. >> City Attorney A counterinsurgency campaign against the people. Can we pause our time really quick? So, Speaker, you've asked for all items, so I'm going to ask that you stick to the items for the first 3 minutes. You're welcome to speak during General, if you'd like. There's also going to be a special meeting for which there will be public comment on this issue as well. So I apologize. So go ahead. If there are items you'd like to speak to, please do those first. Before moving to General, I'll do item 53. Okay. Go ahead. So in relation to empathy, you said item 53 is a part of the special agenda. So there will be a separate public comment period for people for that item later on in the meeting, which you can sign up for if you would like to. Okay I'll just do general then. Right now. Okay, we have one minute. Go ahead. You told us LA is the sanctuary city, but how can you call this a sanctuary city when the entire city functions as an information sharing battlefield? LAPD isn't just out in the streets. They're inside our phones, our homes, our networks. They collect field interview cards filled with gang labels and birth places, stream live body cam footage and street camera feeds, harvest bones contents with Cellebrite and tracker every movements through Alpers. All of this feeds into a violent data infrastructure, coupling, ADIZ and CIC jaywick designed to criminalize engage every pixel captured every record, uploaded every data point, analyze it as a weapon. Surveillance is not passive. It is preemptive violence. It builds the case for raid that builds them, not for ice and all of you, every single one of you has funded this. You approve the contracts you voted for the grants, and you rubberstamp the expansion. You're complicit in the construction of a castle death machine. And every minute you let it run, you're RUN, YOU'RE HELPING DISAPPEAR OUR PEOPLE. YOU'RE NOT NEUTRAL, YOUR PERPETRATOR OF STATE VIOLENCE. >> City Attorney: AND AS WE'RE WAITING FOR THE NEXT SPEAKER, THE REASON WHY WE HAVE TO MONITOR THE TIME, WE HAVE TO GIVE EVERYBODY THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME THAT'S A BROWN ACT REQUIREMENT. SO IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON A AGENDA ITEM, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU TIME FOR THAT AGENDA ITEM. GOOD MORNING, WHICH ITEMS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO? >> Speaker: I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO ALL ITEMS, BUT START WITH GENERAL COMMENT. >> City Attorney: JUST TO BE CONSISTENT, I'M GOING TO ASK THAT YOU START WITH ITEMS. >> Speaker: WELL FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THIS LECTURE ABOUT BEING NON VIOLENCE, IS CONFORM TIFF. --CONFORMIVE. >> Speaker: CUT THE REST OF THE SHIT, I'M SPEAK ON Seven Information Sharing environment that is completely, completely a false sanctuary city. Shame on the nonprofit. Shame on the complicity of the City Council for giving the people of Los Angeles false assurances. LAPD on the regular order acts as an information gatherer. A tracker for DHS, ICE and FBI. LAPD shares real time data with federal agencies through fusion centers and Joint Regional Intelligence Center. LAPD arbitrarily labels immigrants as gang affiliated, which then becomes a basis for federal authorities to detain, banish and torture them. LAPD reports on individuals through suspicious activity, reporting Program. DHS Homeland Security Information Network, Mobile Apps . LAPD participates with federal agencies on a wide range of multi-agency task forces sharing information and resources that can result in collateral arrest. LAPD Acts as an alert for DHS and ICE by funding fingerprint by sending fingerprints of every person through record management systems to real time crimes. Your time is next. Speaker. So speak. Your time is expired. You are now disrupting this meeting. We can appreciate what you're saying. There will be an opportunity. Speaker This is your first and only warning. Please do not continue disrupt this meeting. We have other speakers who have signed up and are waiting. I need you to vacate the podium. There will be another opportunity during the special meeting. Speaker This is your second warning. Please do not continue to disrupt this meeting. General comment Good morning.

TEAR GASSING THEM, PROTESTING TRYING TO STOP THE DEPORTATION IN A MEANINGFUL WAY, WHICH IS MORE THAN WHAT I CAN SAY FOR YOU FUCKS. THE INVISIBLE MADE VISIBLE, LAPD PROTECTS ICE, BY DATA SHARING AND SURVEILLANCE AND STOCKING OF OUR CITIZENS, AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READERS, FIELD INTERVIEWS CARDS, SOCIAL MEDIA SURVEILLANCE, CELL PHONE READERS, ALL OF THAT UPLOADED INTO SHARED BY ICE. STOP LAPD'S SPYING COALITION HAS IT CLEARLY LAID OUT IN A RESENT LETTER ON THEIR WEBSITE, FUNDING OF LAPD IS FUNDING OF ICE AND SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FOR DOING IT! [APPLAUSE] >> City Attorney: NEXT SPEAKER. >> City Attorney: GOOD MORNING, WHICH ITEM WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK With the Koreatown Community Center. And then there's one about the Los Angeles Police Foundation, 65, I believe, like every single general public comment. Okay. So we have 2 minutes for the items and one for general. Please begin at the Academy on city funds going to the Koreatown youth community Agenda. You because oftentimes when the city funds programs for youth programs, for example, when the council is concerned Department of Homeland Department. Outreach around the sort of explicitly racist we've had frameworks that have been explicitly racist for a while. Listen, real quickly, this is Councilmember Harris-Dawson. Please, if you could just listen to what I'm talking about has to do with you specifically. So the City Council passed the funding to pass the racist risk assessment program to monitor and that's Marquis HARRIS-DAWSON . He actually the one supporting talk about our presence in L.A. the program that long before these troops arrived and the funding going from the Los Angeles Police Foundation. It's again, the same kind of liberal outrage, outcry. You guys are sleepy as. Oh, yeah.

Our first order of business will be on this order, in the order that rights advocate that those actions make a department and then a to the central table of the testimony the leader of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, Los Angeles, one of the rights organization nations. I should note for the record, several immigrant rights organizations in. The city that we have a special relationship with cheerleaders, contractor with the city to help provide and facilitate for city immigrants and assist and how the legal work after which as a consequence bustle and among others total members.

SO DRIVING BACK, WE GOT WORD THAT IN CULVER CITY CALIFORNIA, 12 WORKERS WERE ARRESTED AT A CAR WASH. AND ANOTHER RAID ON SUNDAY, CAR WASH WORKERS APPROXIMATELY 10 WORKERS WERE ARRESTED. SITINGS IN PASADENA WHICH WE THEN CONFIRMED WAS A PLACE OF LODGING FOR FEDERAL AGENTS. ON MONDAY, YESTERDAY, WE GOT CONFIRMATION IN HUNTINGTON PEOPLE IN HOME DEPOT. AT IS IS Let's There's nothing on our car. We had a worksite on Monica Lane and in then outside of our county, it got the most roofers were taken off the roof. Also in Santana and the city attorney's again travels on and the detention facility they were only able to see once again one person. So I want you to understand, two people have died . Hundreds have been picked up. Two people in attendance. Those persons. Attorney visits, even though no attorneys came out for , they were able to confirm 17 points on a list that we had, but nothing more. Immigrant attorney or Internet. The Internet. They they stated that they have so many people that they are not done processing the people and that many people are actually in holding areas with no bed assignments. That means that they're sleeping on the floor. We have reports of family members that stayed, that they're being coerced into signing their voluntary departure notices, waiving their rights. If they don't sign up, they are going to be fined $5,000. A wife of one of the detainees called Challenge to ask us whatCALLED CHERLA TO ASK WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE HUSBAND SAID THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE 5,000 BECAUSE THAT WAS PART OF THE ALIEN REGISTRATION. WE TOLD THE WIFE TO STAY STRONG AND GET A LAWYER. WE HAVE NOT HAD ACCESS TO THOSE LAWYERS. I MEAN THO THE DETAINEES BY LAWYERS. OUR DEMAND, WE NEED TO STOP THE RAIDS AND MILITARY. WE NEED TO UPHOLD CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND ACCESS TO LEGAL COUNSELING. THIS IS ARRESTS, WE NEED TO STOP THE RACIAL PROFILING. AND MANY OF VINCING HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 20, 25, 30, 35 YEARS, THEY NEED TO BE RELEASED TO THE FAMILIES. TODAY BEFORE I WALKED IN THE DOOR, I WANTED TO SEE, WE'RE GETTING REPORTS. IN COMMERCE, THERE IS A STAGING AREA OF MULTIPLE IMMIGRATION CARS THAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED, WE'RE RECEIVING CALLS FROM THOSE COMMUNITIES AND WE DO HAVE ON THIRD AND GAUGE, MULTIPLE ICE AS WELL AS CONTINUED PRESENCE IN WHITIER. THE LAST THING YOU KNOW, I'LL STOP HERE, THERE IS, OUR COMMUNITIES ARE BEING TERRORIZED, WE'RE IN A STATE OF TERROR. PEOPLE ARE OUTRAGED AT WHAT IS HAPPENING. AND I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND, IT'S NOT JUST THE SITE OF LOCATION THAT IS BEING RAIDED, IT'S THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. PEOPLE PEACEFULLY PROTEST DURING THE DAY AND ARE OUTRAGED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE SEE, MASSIVE, THIS IS NOT ANYTHING, I'VE BEEN WORKING NOW AT CHERLA FOR 30 YEARS, I HAVE RESPOND TODAY MULTIPLE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND WORK SITE RAIDS. THTS NOT JUST ICE, IT'S NOT JUST BORDER PATROL, IT'S THE FBI, THIS IS A FEDERAL FORCE THAT IS PRESENT IN FULL MILITARY GARBE. IN THE AMBIANCE OF RAID, YOU HAD MILITARY TANKS COMING DOWN SANTI ALLEYS, THAT IS UNPRECEDENTED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT. THE THING THAT I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT, PEOPLE ARE SO UPSET, BECAUSE THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES HAVE A MILLION PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDOCUMENTED, CLOSE TO A MILLION PEOPLE WHO HAVE RELATIVES, WHO'S FAMILY MEMBERS ARE UNDOCUMENTED. IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES OFFER 80 PERCENT OF PEOPLE HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS AN IMMIGRANT. EVERYBODY IS UNDER THREAT, THEY SEE THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WITH A CROSS HAIR ON THEIR BACK. THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO YOU UNDERSTAND, HOW INCREDIBLY TERRORIZING THIS MOMENT IS FOR US. AS AN ORGANIZATIONS, WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. BUT AS I REPORT TO YOU, THEY'RE DENYING US ACCESS. I ALSO WANT TO SAY, MANY OF US, MANY OF YOU HAVE MARCHED WITH US, WE WORK, WE HAVE A VERY DISCIPLINED ORGANIZED GROUP OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE PART OF OUR COALITION, WE HAVE PUT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON THE STREET, JUST THIS MAY FIRST, WE WERE IN FRONT OF THE FEDERAL BUILDING ON THE CORNER OF ALISO AND ALAMEDA, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE OFFICERS COMING FROM THE INSIDE OF THAT FEDERAL DETENSION CENTER WITH TEAR GAS THROWN AT PROTESTERS. AND WE WERE TENS OF THOUSANDS THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED. AND EVEN ON SATURDAY, THERE WAS 20 PEOPLE, LESS THAN 20 PEOPLE AS THEY WERE SHUTTING THE PEOPLE INTO THE VANS AND TRYING TO GET THEM OUT SO THAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WOULD NOT WITNESS THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH WE WERE LIVING. WE HAD TEAR GAS, WE ALL THIS TO COVER OURSELVES. THIS IS THE KIND OF ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE LIVING IN. PEOPLE WANT ONE, THEY ARE MAD AND THEY DESERVE TO PROTEST BECAUSE THEY ARE SO OUTRAGED AT WHAT IS HAPPENING. I ALSO WANT A MESSAGE TO OUR PROTESTERS OUT THERE. THE STORY AND SPOTLIGHT IS ON YOU, IT MEANS NA YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE SPOTLIGHT ON THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING HARMED. THAT MEANS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU, AND YOUR ACTIONS AND NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO WORK SITE HAVE BEEN RAID ABOUT THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED. AND NO, WE, THE VANDALISM, EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING, IS UNACCEPTABLE. BUT I ALSO WANT TO TELL YOU HERE IN COUNCIL, AND IT'S GOING TO COST YOU MONEY TO PAINT THOSE WALLS AND REPAIR THOSE WALLS BUT WHAT I'M SEEING, IS DAMAGE, TO THE HUMAN DIGNITY OF OUR PEOPLE TO THESE FAMILIES THAT IS IRREPARABLE, THERE IS NOTHING, NOTHING THAT CAN ACTUALLY BRING REPAIR TO WHAT THESE FAMILIES ARE GOING THROUGH. I'M TALKING THE MOTHERS, I'M TALKING TO THE SONS AND THE DAUGHTERS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN PICKED UP. THE TRAUMA THAT THEY ARE LIVING CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. WHAT I DO WANT, WHAT I DO COME TO ASK YOU IS TO BE COURAGEOUS AT THIS MOMENT TO SPEAK UP TO THE FAMILIES TO BOLDLY SAY TO STOP THE RAIDS, ALL OF THE PROTESTING WILL STOP WHEN THIS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, STOPS ATTACKING AND TERRORIZING OUR FAMILIES. AGAIN, NEVER HAVE I SEEN THIS LEVEL OF ENFORCEMENT AND ALSO THE INSCRUPULOUS ENFORCEMENT. WE'VE Many of them could end up in Texas, Louisiana and many other places if they're still and we don't even know if they're still here. With that, I'm going to stop. Thank you so much, Ms. Salas, for the presentation will begin our discussion with the chair of our Civil and Human Rights Committee, Councilmember Soto Martinez. Thanks so much, Mr. President, for bringing Angelica here today. And Angelica, I just want to say, you know, we've known each other for four years and you've always been there with people you pour so much your team are incredible. And right now, I think we've got to do as much as we can to support the work that you're doing, to use everything within our authority to stay on message, fight for those families. Because I think you're right. We do this for the families and nobody else. And so we'll continue to uplift them as much as we can. And for my colleagues and for everyone watching in the public, I think the biggest takeaway from this right now is that this is not normal. What is happening right now is not normal. Everything that Angelica is describing is being witnessed by people on the front lines, the armored vehicles, the abduction teams, visiting work sites. This is an indiscriminate attack on all, all immigrant communities. Does it matter if you're like the mythical Mexican or Korean Armenian? Everyone is being attacked. Everyone is being singled out. And so I just want to follow up by just asking, do we do we have a do we have an even an understanding of how many people have been picked TH FEW DAYS? EVEN AN ESTIMATE? >> BASED ON THE FAMILY MEMBERS OVER 300 FOR SURE. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FOLKS ACTUALLY WERE FULLY IN TENSION OF THE DETENSIONED HAPPENING ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY IN THE COURTROOM, IT COULD BE MUCH MORE THAN THAT. AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM BY NOT HAVING ACCESS WE DMEND ON THE FAMILY MEMBERS FOR CALLING THE HOTLINE TO LET US KNOW THAT THEIR FAMILY MEMBER HAS BEEN DETAINED. I WOULD SAY BASED ON OUR OWN ADDITION, AND MATH, OVER 300 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UP IN ALL OF THIS. >> H. Soto-Martinez: OF THOSE 300, DO WE KNOW HOW MANY HAVE EVEN HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY AT THIS POINT? >> TWO. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU TOO. AND MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DETAINED IN THE COURTROOMS HAD ALREADY ATTORNEYS ALREADY, BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD PROCESSES, MANY OF THOSE ATTORNEYS CANNOT CONNECT WITH THEIR CLIENTS. SO I HAVE SEVERAL ATTORNEYS THAT HAVE, COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FACT, EVEN THOGH THEY REPRESENT THE INDIVIDUALS, THEY CANNOT GET ACCESS TO THEM. SO THIS LACK OF ACCESS TO COUNCIL, WE HAD SEEN IT IN OTHER PLACE SXZ WE'RE JUST, AGAIN, THERE ARE RULES AND ACTUALLY LITIGATION THAT PROVIDE US ESPECIALLY AT B-18 ACCESS FOR LEGAL COUNCIL. IN FACT THE REASON WE HAVE THAT IS BECAUSE MANY OF PEOPLE DETAINED ARE MEXICAN NATIONALS, WITHOUT PROPER COUNSEL THEY CAN BE DEPORTED IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS TO TIJUANA. BECAUSE OF THAT, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET SETTLEMENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND THE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE QUICK ACCESS TO INDIVIDUALS AT THE METROPOLITAN DETENSION CENTER. >> H. Soto-Martinez: AND OF THE 300, DO WE EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT? >> WELL WE KNOW, AND ONLY BECAUSE WE BASICALLY SAUCE THE, SO WE DON'T, SOME OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS ARE TOLD THAT MAYBE THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS IN SANTA ANA, THERE IS TWO DETENSION CENTERS IN ADELANTO BUT WE ALSO HAVE A FEMALE MEMBER WHO'S UNCLE WAS PICKED UP IN THE COURT HEARINGS AND HE CALLED THEM FROM TEXAS. SO THAOZ OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THEY WILL ALSO BE SENT OUT TO OTHER DETENSION CENTERS OUTSIDE OF THE STATE WHICH SOMETIMES DOES HAPPEN. >> H. Soto-Martinez: AND ANY SENSE OF DIFFERENT, CAUSE THE ONE THAT WAS, MOST SORT OF APPALLING TO ME WAS THE ONE THAT HAPPENED AT THE GARMENT CENTER. FROM THAT, WE HEARD THAT IT WAS KOREAN IMMIGRANTS AND LATINO IMMIGRANTS. I IMAGINE EVERYBODY IS BEING AFFECTED. DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF WHICH COMMUNITIES ARE BEING IMPACTED? >> WELL THE ISSUE IS MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS FOR EXAMPLE, DON'T EVEN HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A-NUMBER SO THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS AND SOME OF THE FAMILIES THAT WE TALKED TO, 20-25, 27, 30 YEARS, THAT THEY'VE BEEN HERE BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IMMIGRATION HISTORY. SO THEY'VE NEVER HAD CONTACT WITH IMMIGRATION. SO THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A A-NUMBER, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SAYING THAT THE PROCESSING IS SO HARD. THEY HAVE TO CREATE A RECORD FOR THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE SYSTEM. I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD. SAID, THEY SAID THEY HAD DEPORTATION. BUT MOST DIDN'T. WE CAN GO TO You know, it's we're hearing the reports from the front lines and it's absolutely heartbreaking. You know, I think your points about the trauma that's being inflicted on these families is going to be irreparable. You know, when I was young, my parents were undocumented and I can't imagine waiting, being at home, waiting for my dad to show up. And then he never shows up or my mom or my aunt. And so, you know, in this moment, what can we as a council do to support all that is happening in the community right now? I think in a unified voice to really lift up the demand to stop this military style immigration enforcement that's happening in our city and in our region, because even though a lot has not. We had the raids on here in the city of LA then it's all the regions. So like Huntington Park , where one large LA community. So just speaking together with local other local elected officials about the harm and how unsafe our communities are when we have this military style immigration enforcement in our communities, I think these raids have to stop and that and I just think this is this is possible. The thing is that they're trying to bring in the military in order so that there's no accountability. So that there is so they can do all of these raids without any level of, I would say, with impunity. And so I think it's very important that you use your leadership voice to demand accountabilityINPUNITY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE WHAT IS GOING ON. AND REALLY WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THESE ARE WARRANT LISTS AND ALSO USING RACIAL PROFILING. WE HAD A SITUATION COME OF YEARS AGO IN EL MONTE WHERE ENFORCEMENT WENT INTO PEOPLE'S IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, WENT INTO PEOPLE'S PURSES AND THEIR WALLETS BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE RERAINING SILENCE, AS WE KNOW, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, YOU CAN SAY YOUR NAME BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING, SO IF THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE, THEY WOULD GO INTO THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS TO GET WHAT THEY NEEDED. THE CONSTITUTION APPLIES TO EVERYBODY INCLUDING OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY AND UNDOCUMENTED COMMUNITY. I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR TO YOU SAY. AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IF, THE MARINES COME IN Here and for your presence throughout the course of everything that has occurred. As you indicated, I know one of the things that I think we struggle with as a council and I want to make really clear for members of the public that are watching, as you indicated, members of Congress who have the federal authority to even bear witness to thein the venue. A few partners and decided to try a cannery. The French sardine company that Bogdanovich started included two other major partners who were also born on the Croatian Adriatic. Theyeph . Each senior. My grandfather is to intervene and the destructive tactics that are being initiated by this president and certain members of Congress that have enabled it, that from my perspective, I see the racial profiling and I see how it's affected our communities. But I'm also pragmat in terms of I want to be really clear education and an opportunity eventually came up for him to come to San Pedro to be a partner French sardine company, supersede the federal government. So I want to be grounded in facts in what we can actually do, because unified voices and everything is fantastic. Yes, that's great. And it makes people feel good. But I want to really help people. So my question for you is, in the businesses that are being targeted, for example, what tangible direction and guidance can we give peopleGIVE CAUSE AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND EFFORT ON UNIFIED VOICES, I WANT TO SPEND EFFORTS ON TANGIBLE THINGS THAT WE CAN ADVISE AND GUIDE PEOPLE, ABOUT HOW THEY CAN GUIDE THEIR EMPLOYEES. WHAT TYPES OF STEPS CAN BUSINESSES TAKE, TO PROTECT THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE THEIR BUSINESSES, BECAUSE I WANT TO BE CLEAR, THE DISRUPTION THAT THEY'RE CREATING ALSO FURTHER AFFECTS THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. AND WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT POS TOUR AS WELL. SO WHAT KINDS OF TANGIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS CAN YOU PROVIDE BUSINESSES TO PROTECT THEIR EMPLOYEES? >> Council President: IEMENTS, --I'M SORRY, BEFORE YOU START, MR. HERMAN AND THE PERSON IN THE RED HAT AND MR. SPINDLER ARE FORMERLY WARNED. THEY'RE JUMPING UP AND MAKE ING HAND MOTION AND DISTRACTING THE COUNCILMEMBERS. THIS IS GONE ON ALMOST THE ENTIRE TIME, MS. SALAS HAS BEEN UP HERE. THAT'S THE FIRST AND LAST WARNING. MS. SALAS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, BEFORE I GO SPECIFICALLY, WHICH I WILL. I DON'T WANT TO YOU UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOUR VOICE IN THIS MOMENT. >> M. Rodriguez: WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE COMMUNICATE ASKED SAID WE DON'T SUPPORT IT AND AGAINST IT. BUT YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT IS REIGNING TERROR ON PEOPLE AND DOES NOT MATTER THREATENING TO ARREST OUR GOVERN AND EVERY ONE ELSE. THERE IS A UNIFIED VOICE. I JUST WANT TO GIVE ACTIONS. >> GOT YOU. THE OTHER THING THAT IS VERY TANGIBLE IF ANYBODY IN YOUR DISTRICT IS DETAINED AND HARMED, YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS DOCUMENTED. WE WILL HELP PROVIDE YOU THE INFORMATION OF WHO IN YOUR COMMUNITY IS DETAINED AND HAPPENING. THAT IS TO LIFT UP THEIR STORIES. SO BUSINESSES, THEY'RE PRIVATE ENTITY. IN ORDER FOR SOMEBODY TO COME IN It's about the owner. It should have the name of the company and the name of the person who is the owner of that company. And it's a warrant because is this a raid that is targeted? The employer, or is it about employees? So what you and this is why I say warrantless. This is what's happening. They just enter an often what people do is just because they're federal agents just open the door so they have the right to say, you cannot come into my place of business unless you have a warrant. That a clearly has my address, the name of the company and status, but address for sure who are you searching? Who are you looking for? If it is employees, the same thing. Where is your warrant? And it's a warrant that is a judicial warrant that is signed by a judge. And that clearly spells out who the people they're looking for. Are they have no right to pick up anybody else. If they do have a judicial warrant, it's only the person on that warrant. They don't have the right to then go in and ask an entire debate. Everybody at ambience. I was there at ambience on 15th and Santa Fe and I talked to workers who were not arrested because they were US citizens or legal permanent residents. They too were asked about their immigration status. They too had to provide evidence that they were in this country legally. So the thing is, with a warrant, it is important that it has the name of the people. You don't. There is no rhyme or reason you're asking everybody else in in the company what their status is. SO, THE OTHER THING THAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW, THIS IMPACTS THE UNDOCUMENTED WORKER BUT ALL THE WORKERS WHO ARE WITNESSING AND BEING AT THE SAME TIME, EQUALLY HARASSES DURING THE RAIDS. THE OTHER THING IS THAT YOU CAN CLEARLY MARK WHAT IS PRIVATE AND WHAT IS PUBLIC. SO THAT THEN, OFTEN, ESPECIALLY AT RESTAURANTS, THEY WILL COME IN, SAYING THIS IS A PUBLIC PLACE BUT YOU CAN QUICKLY AND YOU SEE A LOT OF RESTAURANTS THAT SAY, THIS IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE RIGHT, TO NOT A LAW PEOPLE TO COME IN. THIS IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS. SO IT'S IMPORTANT. WHAT I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE VAUBL AND AVAILABLE TO ALL THE CITY COUNCILMEMBERS, WE HAVE A TOOL KIT FOR EMPLOYERS AND BUSINESSES SO THAT THEY TOO AND UNDERSTAND THEIR RIGHTS AND CAN ALSO BOTH SUPPORT THE BUSINESS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES. >> M. Rodriguez: AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THOSE ARE TANGIBLE THINGS THAT WE CAN GIVE GUIDANCE ON. IT'S IMPERATIVE BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING THE IMPACTS OF THAT. THE OTHER THING, FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE NATURALIZED THAT HAVE HAD NATURALIZED FAMILY MEMBERS LIKE MY OWN. IS THERE A DISTINCTION IN TERMS OF DOCUMENTATION THAT I'M CONCERNED, THAT BEING THE NEXT LEVEL OF EXPLOITATION. CAN YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT IF THERE IS ANY DOCUMENTATION THAT IS REQUIRED BY THOSE THAT ARE NATURALIZED OR, BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU GET A LOT OF FALSE REPORTS ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING OR WHAT IS NOT, I THINK IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO DISSERVICE. --DISCERN, ARE THERE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT YOU HAVE SEEN WHERE INDIVIDUALS NATURALIZED ARE BEING TARGETED AS WELL BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION? AND I GO BACK TO AS YOU KNOW, I FOUGHT VERY HARD FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT SERVED OUR COUNTRY WHO HAVE BEEN DENIED CITIZENSHIP THAT WERE ENTITLED AND SINCE BEEN DEPORTED. ARE THERE THOSE THAT HAVE RECEIVED THAT CITIZENSHIP THAT ARE NOW BEING TARGETED. >> THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT REQUIRED TO CARRY GREEN CARD ARE GREEN CARD HOLDER OR PERMANENT RESIDENTS. AND THOSE ON TEMPORARY STATUS, THEY HAVE DOCUMENTATION, THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE CARRYING THIS. IF YOU'RE A U.S. CITIZEN, ESPECIALLILE NATURALIZED CITIZEN, SO IN FACT, I'M NOT SUPPOSE TO BE CARRYING ANY NATURALIZATION CERTIFICATE, JUST LIKE NOW, EVERYBODY ELSE. SO THAT MEANS IT'S MY ID, IF YOU NEED ME TO IDENTIFY MYSELF, AGAIN FOR WHAT PURPOSE ARE YOU ASKING ME? MY IDENTIFICATION, WE NOW HAVE U.S. CITIZENS CARRYING THEIR PASSPORTS BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID WHEN THERE IS A WORK SITE RAID OR STREETS, THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ASKED FOR THEIR DOCUMENTATION. WE HAVE A LOT OF ESPECIALLY, FOLKS FROM LATIN AMERICA, ASIA WHO ARE CARRYING THEIR PASSPORT. SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE TARGETED. IN PARAMOUNT, AGAIN, THESE ARE VERIFIED ACCOUNTS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE U.S. CITIZENS WHO WERE TARGETED AND WHO WERE MISTREATED AND THEY KEPT SAYING, BUT I'M A U.S. CITIZEN. SO THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND, BUT AGAIN TO NATURALIZE CITIZEN, YOU'RE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CITIZEN, YOU WOULD PROVE IT IN EVERY OTHER WAY, IN FACT YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO KEEP YOUR NATURALIZATION CERTIFICATE AT HOME. AND YOU CANNOT MAKE A COPY OF THAT NATURALIZE CITIZENSHIP. >> M. Rodriguez: BUT TO YOUR POINT, YOU INDICATED D THAT THERE WERE CITIZENS STILL BEING TARGETED. >> WERE TARGETED. THEY WERE ASKED FOR THEIR STATUS AND NOT BELIEVED THAT THEY'RE CITIZENS. THAT'S ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IF YOU SAY, YOU'RE A U.S. CITIZEN, IT HAS, WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE A U.S. CITIZEN, IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE AS FACT. TO THE POINT THAT IF AN IMMIGRANT UNDOCUMENTED, WHO IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN CLAIMS TO BE A CITIZEN, THEY WILL BE FOREVER BARED FROM LEGALIZING THEIR STATUS IN THIS COUNTRY. SO STATING THAT YOU'RE A U.S. CITIZEN, SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR THAT OFFICER TO BELIEVE YOU. >> BUT IF THEY DON'T? >> WELL,-- >> M. Rodriguez: I UNDERSTAND. AGAIN I'M JUST, I'M TRYING TO PROVIDE PEOPLE. WE'RE WORKING WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE FRANKLY, THEY DISREGARDED WHAT WE'VE ALL KNOWN TO BE STANDARD PRACTICE. SO I WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO WE BEST WHETHER IT'S FAMILY MEMBERS, WHETHER IT'S COMMUNITY MEMBERS, SHOULD THEY HAVE THEIR PASSPORTS WITH THEM? I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT THAO ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT DENY THAT THE RULES APPLY ANY LONGER. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP AID PEOPLE, TANG IBLELY. AND THEY'RE ATTORNEYS REPUBLIC DENIED ACCESS. SO WHAT WE KNOW OF THE RULES, THIS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT HONORING THE RULES. SO I WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT ARE THE TANGIBLE THINGS THAT WE CAN RECOMMEND. I GET IT, WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT HONORING THE RULES. HOW DO WE BEST HELP PEOPLE? >> AND I WOULD JUST SAY TO YOU, YOUR ID, THIS IS WHAT WE, THIS IS MY IDENTIFICATION. ANY AGENT, POLICE OR FEDERAL AGENT THEY SHOULD ONLY REQUIRE IF YOU WERE BEING STOPPED, TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF. HOW CAN YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF, THAT IS THAT SHOULD BE AND IT SHOULD BE, AND I SHOULD SAY, IT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. NEXT THING, WE NEED KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WORK SO FOR TO YOU PREPARE TO STAY IN THIS COUNTRY TO PLAN BEFOREHAND, IF YOU'RE DETAINED, IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU. WHO WOULD YOU CALL, HOW TO REALLY HAVE A PLAN OF, FOR YOUR FAMILY IN ORDER TO STAY AND QUICKLY GET HELP. >> THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER PRICE? >> C. Price: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR WORK. AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO THIS SERVICE. WE'VE GOT A LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU IN CD9 AND APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE TOGETHER FROM KNOW YOUR RIGHTS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES AS WELL. YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOLS ARE A PRIME AREA OF CONCERNS, OBVIOUSLY, PARENTS ARE COMING FOR GRADUATION. LE WHAT KIND OF CONVERSATIONS ARE YOU HAVING WITH SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT PRECAUTIONS ABOUT GUIDANCE? FOR PARENTS THAT ARE CONCERNED, PARENTS AND OTHERS. >> I REALLY WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY SAY, YOU KNOW, MY GRATITUDE AND EXTEND MY GRATITUDE TO SUPERINTENDENT ALBERTO CARVALHO AND ALL THE TEACHERS OF LOSS LOXER --LOS ANGELES, THEY ARE MY HEROES, SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH LAUSD, WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING KNOW YOUR RIGHTS BOTH TO THE PARENTS AND TO THE PARENTS AS WELL AS TO THE, STUDENTS, ON KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. IN THE SCHOOLS AT ALL LEVELS AT THE SCHOOLS FROM K THROUGH 12. AND WITH THEIR HELP BOTH WITH THE TEACHERS AND OTHERS, DONE TRAININGS, I WOULD SAY WE HAVE A RIGOROUS POLICY AS TO HOW AND WHAT, WHAT INDIVIDUAL SHOULD DO, IF IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES COME NEAR A SCHOOL. AND WE HAVE SEEN IT PLAY OUT AND IT HAS WORKED TO PREVENT ICE FROM COMING IN OR NEAR THE, THE FACILITIES. THE SCHOOL FACILITIES. ONE THING I WANT YOU TO KNOW, JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, THERE IS A SPECIAL JUVENILE STA --STATUS, FOR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN AND THEY CAN PETITION, A LOT OF Young people. What's happening is a lot of people are then falling out of status. So we believe the federal authorities are going to use that to then go after young people who now they have nothing to gain or so continuing to work with us in order to try to be for them to be protected. The other thing that I really want you to know is that the often they're going to the schools to look for parents, not just the students. So we do have legislation and this is something very concrete that you can support us on. AB 49, which is further to create further protection for schools, but also to include daycare centers as well. That is really important to us because in a lot of the protections we have at the state of California, our preschools and our daycare centers are not included in that protection. So we are working very well with support that we support all levels of assistance. I know that we've been getting calls from cities that are impacted and indirectly impacted, as you said, at the there's a ripple effect. We had an incursion in in Expo Park last evening, for example. It looks like there was a surveillance and also some confiscation of equipment and members were detained. What do we do about the supplies they get, take it away during occasions like this.GET TAKEN A. >> SUPPLIES? MAYBE IF YOU CAN TELL ME A LITTLE. . >> C. Price: IF SOMEBODY GETS THEIR CART TAKEN AWAY. >> WHAT I WITNESSED ON FRIDAY, I WAS AT AMBIANCE WAY AFTER THE RAID HAPPENED AND I SAW FAMILY MEMBERS AND I TALKED TO FAMILY MEMBERS, THEY WERE WORKING WITH THE OTHER STAFF, THE OTHER WORKERS TO BASICALLY COLLECT CAR KEYS, PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TO PICK UP THAT UP WERE YOUNG PEOPLE, U.S. CITIZENS, MOST OF THEM, IN THEIR LATE TEENS AND MID-20s COMING TO PICK UP THE BELONGINGS FOR THEIR PARENTS. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO FAMILIES AS KNOW YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE A PLAN, IF THIS HAPPENS TO ME, WHAT WOULD WE DO? WHO WOULD WE CALL? WHO WOULD PICKUP OUR THINGS IF IT'S A WORK SITE RAID. SO TO THINK THIS THROUGH AND IT'S LIKE EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR OUR FOLKS. AND THIS IS WHAT OUR LIVES ARE IN THIS MOMENT AND HAVE BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. >> C. Price: GOT TO HAVE A PLAN. THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER PRICE. COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA. >> I. Padilla: HI, ANGELICA THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT CHERLA TALKS. I WANT US TO TAKE A STEP BACK. I KNOW THE EMOTIONS ARE HIGH. I KNOW THAT I'M FEELING, NERVES AND ANGER LIKE I HAVE NEVER FELT THEM IN MY TIME IN THIS COUNCIL THIS FAR. AND EVERY SECOND I'M ON THE VERGE OF POPPING. JUST OUT OF ANXIOUSNESS OF NOT KNOWING WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN MY DISTRICT IN THE TIME THAT I SIT HERE. BUT YOU KNOW, I DO, I THINK THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME I HEARD YOU SPEAK SINCE THIS ALL STARTED. AND THERE ARE THIS SMINGZ THAT I WANT TO SAY AND ASK, YOU HAVE MENTIONED, COUNCILMEMBER SOTO-MARTINEZ MENTIONED THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR TO US STAY ON MESSAGE, RIGHT. AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE BEEN WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE'VE HAD ON OUR HANDS TO REACT TO THIS, WE'VE BEEN PRETTY ON MESSAGE. WE'RE, I KNOW I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MY HOME DEPOT AS OFTEN AS I HAVE BEEN JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY IS OKAY, CHECKING IN WITH MANAGERS AND EVERY ONE, CALLING MY DAY LABOR CENTERS, TELLING THEM TO PIVOT INSTEAD OF STANDING FOR WORK, PIVOT RESTRATEGIZING. BUT YOU MENTIONED SOME THINGS THAT I THINK ARE MORE, WE HAVE NOT UNPACKAGED HOW BAD AND UNCOMFORTABLE THEY ARE. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MENTIONED THAT, LET'S START WITH THE RACIAL PROFILING ONE. DO YOU KNOW IF ANYBODY WHO WAS RACIALLY PROFILED WAS ACTUALLY A U.S. CITIZEN AND WHETHER WE HAVE A CASE OF BEING ABLE Even though if we might have U.S. citizens in detention right now, this is America. So it's really important for me to understand that what is important? We need to and we need to understand what happened. How did the enforcement occur? What did they ask, etc. But then the other part is the people who remain. So the people that I have talked to at the work that after the worksite raid after is, you know, Home Depot, a lot of the individuals who remain are actually people who are U.S. citizens or Americans. Talk to us about the fact that the U.S. and that they are being this. And actually, not only that, they are U.S. citizens, they can also America and that we uplift that that you know and that's actually where I want to get at. Right, is that we need to uplift all of these other little things that we're catching in their sloppiness and in their unethical approach. And I know that's debatable. I know there are some people that are still out there. I mean, based on my post on social media, there are some people that are so excited that this finally has happened. You know, the trolls and whatnot. But those of us that are familiar with policy, I think it's time for us to really elevate the sloppiness. So You mentioned you don't know who, if any of these 300 are so far because we haven't talked to them. So that takes me to my next point. Well, actually, we do know we have a list based on the family members. So we've compiled a list of by family members whoHAVE COMPILED A LIST FAMILY MEMBERS WILL ALSO WORKERS. THEIR CO-WORKERS SO WE'VE BEEN COLLECTING A DETAINEE. WHAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO IS OFFER THEM LEGAL REPRESENTATION EVEN THOUGH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS ARE ASKING. AND IN EACH CASE, LOOK AT WHAT THE THE SITUATION IS FOR EACH OF THESE CASES. >> Council >> I. Padilla: OKAY. MAYBE WE'LL BE SURPRISED. EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING NEEDS TO BE CHALLENGED IN COURT WITH TIME. THE SECOND THING, YOU MENTIONED THAT THEY'RE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR FAMILIES TO SEE THEIR FOLKS. THEY'RE MAKE ITING IMPOSSIBLE FOR ELECTEDOFFICIALS AND ORGANIZATIONS, DOES CHERLA PLAN TO CHALLENGE THAT IN COURT? >> YES, WE WORK WITH ACLU, IN FACT THEY HAVE REPRESENTED CHERLA MULTIPLE TIMES IN CASES OF COERCION OF INVOLUNTARY DEPARTURE AND COERCION, AND WE HAVE ACTUALLY WON SETTLEMENT CASES WITH HOMELAND SECURITY. WE JUST PRIOR TO TRUMP ADMINISTRATION COMING INTO POWER, WE HAD JUST WON A CASE AROUND POLICE OFFICER, I'M SORRY, FEDERAL AGENTS ACTUALLY PASSING THEMSELVES AS POLICE OFFICERS, PAROLE OFFICERS ET CETERA, AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME PROTECTION AROUND FOR OUR REGION IN TERMS OF JUST SAYING THAT NO, THEY CANNOT PRETEND TO BE POLICE OFFICERS, PAROLE OFFICERS OR ANY OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT IN ORDER TO COERCE PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM. >> I. Padilla: THAT'S GREAT. SO EVERY TIME YOU OBSERVE SLOPPINESS, YOU GO AFTER IT. I LIKE THAT. >> BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE NOT RESPECTING A LOT OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. WE HAVE WON THESE CASES, THERE IS PRACTICE THAT THAT WENT INTO AFFECT AND THEY'RE IGNORING THAT RIGHT NOW. >> I. Padilla: INTERESTING. I WAS GOING TO MENTION AS RECOMMENDATION AS WE CONTINUE TO UNPACKAGE AND DEVELOP OUR TALKING POINTS, THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, NEEDS TO NOT JUST SAY, WE'RE BEING DISRUPTED, THIS IS UNETHICAL, WE NEED TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH A NATIONAL GOVERNMENT WHO IS TRYING TO ERADICATE DUE PROCESS. WE ALREADY SAW IT WITH WHETHER THEY BROUGHT BACK THAT GUY FROM EL SALVADOR, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY FINALLY BROUGHT HIM BACK. THIS IS A PRESIDENT THAT SOME DAY, THAT WILL GO TO GO THROUGH PROCESS. OR MAYBE HE'LL PASS AWAY BEFORE DO, THERE IS A LOT OF VIOLATION OF DUE PROCESS. IT MAKES IT SOUND LESS CRAZY HOW HE IS IN DEED PUSHING FOR A TOTALTARIAN REGIME. HE CAME DO LOS Not just with the chaos, but also with challenging our court system and the way we do things. And lastly, I wanted to say, because they're taking on or asked and I'm looking forward to the next round with LAPD as well , because there was so many people that are arrested together without a warrant. Is there any talks about doing a class action related to this? Well, in many instances, we have actually been able to ensure that people actually remain with their families because we have had situations in the past where there have been, you know, what would be illegal arrest or because there were warrantless actions. And in many instances they were just illegal, enforce of an action. We've seen we're seeing a lot of this right now. The thing is that we also have to because of why it's so important, this is why the rapid response network is so important, because the Rapid Response Network is made up of trained volunteers, legal and a very large legal team, so that then we can actually document all these all these things, take testimonies of witnesses, etc, as to what happened. And so it's really important that that we do that. The last thing that I really want to say to everybody, the Department of Homeland Security has said that they're going to do this for 30 days in L.A. So this is only the beginning. And again, unprecedented. And for all of those folks who might be hearing this in the public eye, worked during Democratic administrations or Republican administrations TO YOU TAKE CARE OF MY CHILDREN AND GO TO THE NURSING HOMES AND TAKE CARE OF MY MOM AND DAD AND GRANDMA AND GRANDMA, I TRUST TO YOU TAKE CARE OF MOST SACRED PLACE THAT I LIVE AND CLEAN IT AND TAKE CARE OF IT AND KEEP IT BEAUTIFUL, THE GARDNER THAT'S GO INTO THESE HOMES BUT YET, WE'RE TREATED AS CRIMINALS AND HUMILIATING, THE WORD HUMILIATION NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT OUT IN THE MOST HUMILIATING AND THEN ALLOW FOR ALL OF THIS RHETORIC ABOUT THE CARICATURES OF WHO WE ARE, WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS THAT HAVE FAMILIES, THAT LOVE OUR CITY, THAT LOVE OUR STATE, THINK OF EVERYTHING AND WHO ARE DEEPLY IN GRATITUDE FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE. BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN HERE. BUT ALSO, ALL THAT WE HAVE IS ALSO, BORN FROM SO MANY WORK AND SO MANY SACRIFICE. >> I. Padilla: NOW I'LL ADD TO THAT, BECAUSE IT SPEAKS TO THE HIPPA CRA SEE--PI HYPOCRISY OF OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY. Contracts I go into with my labor. But that's not happening. And if we were New York, we would have convinced our national government to give us a country like Puerto Rico so that it's easy, you know, to recycle workers. But unfortunately, this is California and we just recycle those that are close to the Mexican border. So I agree with your sentiment and I hope that this is a call to action to our business community to do more, because these are your workers. We are seeing people not go to work, to church, shop , school the way our schools are funded. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually we're going to see more schools probably step it up. But until it happens, this is just what we're dealing with . You know, I do also just want to say that I have been one of the last things that I did was reach out to a lot of people that I know within the social media, influencer community and ask them to please help us with the messaging of peaceful protest. And then as I followed up with their podcast, you know, there's a lot of people that are not in the same bubble as we are related to being active within the political policy process that want to help, but they don't want to get in trouble. So my last ask, so to speak, is that we also help those who want to be helpful to us and talking to us about peaceful protest, what that actually looks like. I honestly wanted to call them and say, you can dance, you can scream, you can sing, don't throw water bottles and don't throw rocks. So I hope that we can also continue to emphasize that it isCONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE THAT IT'S POSSIBLE TO PROTEST PEACEFULLY BUT KNOWNER ANYTHING WE NEED TO STAY ALERT. AND I HOPE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YOURS, KEEP CALLING OUT THE SLOPPINESS. MORE THAN EVER, AND THERE IS PROTEST ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. IT WAS NICE TO SEE CONSTITUENTS IN I BELIEVE, MINNESOTA ALSO GO TO THE STREETS AND PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS. WITH US, WE HAVE TO. BUT LET'S TAKE IT TO COURT WHEN THEY SHOW THAT THEY NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THE DUE PROCESS. >> Council President: THANK YOU SO MUCH COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA. COUNCILMEMBER HUTT. >> H. Hutt: THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. HI ANGELICA. I WANT TO ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT INFORMATION AND I WORKED WITH YOU ON IMMIGRATION YEARS AGO. IN THE SETTLE AGREEMENT, I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A MEMORANDUM THAT TALKED ABOUT SENSITIVE LOCATIONS. DO WE NO LONGER HAVE A SENSITIVE LOCATION DOCUMENT? >> THOSE POLICIES THAT WE FOUGHT SO MANY YEARS FOR AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THEM, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN RESCINDED. SO A LOT OF THESE PROTECTIONS, THAT WE WORKED IN ORDER TO HAVE IN OUR CHURCHES AND COURTROOMS AND IN OUR SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN RESCINDED IN THIS GOVERNMENT. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE, IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES, IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AGENTSES IN COURTROOMS AND OTHER PLACES AS WELL AND SITUATIONS WE'VE HAD AROUND SCHOOLS AND FAITH INSTITUTIONS. BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY, WE ALSO HAVE THE CALIFORNIA VALUES ACT AND WE HAVE OTHER PROTECTIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. SO WE HAVE TO MAXIMIZE THE PROTECTIONS THAT WE DO HAVE IN OUR STATE IN ORDER TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. >> H. Hutt: AND THEN ALONG WITH THAT, HOW ABOUT OUR ACCESS. I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE 300 THAT WE HAVE HAD NOT ACCESS. SO ACCESS TO COUNCIL DOES NOT STAND? >> IT DOES, AND THIS IS WHY WE JUST CAN'TER ACCEPT IT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN, IS BEGIN WE TO SAY, THIS IS THE WAY IT IS, SO WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK, NO WE ALL HAVE ACCESS, WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE A LAWYER TO THEN GO BEFORE A JUDGE, TO, TO PUT OUR CASE FORWARD. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS COUNTRY, IMMIGRANTS WHEN THEY THINK WHY WE COME TO THIS COUNTRY IT'S ABOUT THE PIECES AND DEMOCRACY AND THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS AND CONTEST A CASE AGAINST YOU. THAT STILL EXIST IT'S JUFNT BEING HONORED. >> H. Hutt: THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER HUTT. COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ. >> E. Hernandez: THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. ANGELICA, I JUST WANT TO GIVE WHY YOUR TEAM MY DEEPEST GRATITUDE, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US WHAT COURAGE LOOKS LIKE AND ORGANIZING THE ANOTHER DEPARTMENTS OF GOVERNMENT TO SEE OUR CONGRESS TO TRY TO GET IN AND SEE OUR PEOPLE. THANK YOU. FOLKS STEP UP BECAUSE YOUR OF YOU AND YOUR TEAM IS DOING. THANK YOU, BECAUSE THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED. IT'S RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME. AND WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE AND PUSH THINKING THAT THE RULES ARE APPLYING BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT. I JUST WANT TO AGAINSTINGER THANK YOU. I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT RESPONSE. YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO SEE OUR COMMUNITIES PROTECTED. LOS ANGELES TAKES CARE OF ITS OWN AND I THINK THERE WAS SOME GAPS THERE. AND I REMEMBER WHAT YOUR TANGIBLE REQUESTS ARE. IF WE CAN LOOKING AT POM SEES IN WAYS THAT WE CAN GET OUR BUSINESS OWNERS AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO STEP UP. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAS NOT BEEN NAMED THAT WE CAN DO? WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO SEE OF US IN THIS MOMENT? I THINK THIS IS A MOMENT WHERE, FOLKS HAVE BEEN DOING ON THE GROUND FOR OVER 30 YEARS. WE WILL FOLLOW YOUR LEAD, TELL US, TELL US WHAT YOU WANT AND NEED. >> ONE THING THAT I DIDN'T MENTION WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT, YESTERDAY, WHEN I WAS DRIVING INTO CITY, STAOT CITY I SAW POLICE OFFICERS FROM EVERY SINGLE JURISDICTION, YOU KNOW, FROM COSTA MESA, I SAW MONROVIA, JUST DIFFERENT, IT'S LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND, INCLUDING LAPD THAT A LOT OF THE ATTACK IS TO PUSH SO THAT OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, OUR CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL, OUR L.A. COUNTY SHERIFF THAT THEY GET SO OVERRUN THAT THEN THE LIMITS THAT WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE, SINCE 1979ANSEDER SPECIAL ORDER 40 OR THE LIMITS AROUND HOW, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND, I'M GOING TO SAY FEDERAL AGENCIES BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER ICE AND BORDER PATROL. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO ENSURE THAT THOSE LIMITS ARE RESPECTED. BECAUSE IT CAN BE EASY TO SAY, IT'S AN EMERGENCY. AN EMERGENCY CHAOTIC SITUATION IS HAPPENING. THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS MANNER OF ACTING IS CRUEL WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION, LET'S BE CLEAR. IT'S CRUEL BUT IT'S CHAOTIC IN PURPOSE. IN ORDER TO THEN CREATE SITUATIONS IN WHICH THOSE AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE, ARE DISREGARDED BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING WITH A EMERGENCY. IT'S IMPORTANT ON ACCOUNTABILITY AND REPORTING BACK AND WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY DON'T LIKE THE KIND OF COMMUNITY SAFETY AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE AND POLICIES THAT WE PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE WE DO WANT OUR FOLKS TO BE SAFE AND REPORT CRIMES WHEN THEIR WITNESSES AND VICTIMS OF CRIME. TO PEOPLE IT'S RAIL' ABOUT, TO TEAR AWAY OF MANY OF THOSE POLICIES THAT WE PUT IN PLACE. These unconstitutional actions that are taking place. So thank you for sharing that. And I know that we've heard you. I also want to just uplift the part about the trauma and the terror . You're right. It's unnecessarily cruel. Let me take a step back. What you said about those policies that sometimes we waiver on them during a moment of crisis. I just want to emphasize how important it is that we do not waiver on them, because these are the policies that give dignity and humanity to our people. And to disregard those, to bend them because we are in an emergency is unacceptable. So I just did want to uplift that. I think that's incredibly important. But to the trauma, the terror is something that stays within your DNA. And I know that there's a lot of folks in here who have migrant family members who know someone who is a migrant immigrant, who might be documented undocumented . But I think when everybody can think about one of what one of their worst nightmares is, is isn't your loved one not coming back? And I want everybody to sit with that, because that's what a lot of people have to sit with. And it never leaves you. It never leaves. And so I just again, I want to give you my deepest gratitude. And we want to do whatever we can to support. But thank you for your courage and we'll follow your lead and Councilwoman Hernandez, I received your your words. I also just want to say, Charlie is not alone on this. We're working with carriers and immigrant offenders, community coalition, many unionsRES AND MANY UNIONS, PROJECTO PASTORAL. THIS IS A COMMUNITY OF FAITH LEADERS AND UNIONS. AND WE'RE UNITED AND WE'RE ORGANIZED AND WE'RE DISCIPLINED AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT OFTEN THERE ARE FORCES THAT BOTH ARE COMING IN TO TRY TO SWAY FROM THAT POWER AND THAT ORGANIZATION THAT WE HAVE. Moment. And thank you. Thank you for reminding us of that, because we are not alone. You are not alone. You're not alone . All those organizations that you named the unions, the community based organizations, community keeps communities safe. And you all are the example of that. So thank you for again also reminding us of that. That's really important because right now people are paralyzing to feel by fear. They want us to feel like we're by ourselves. They want us to feel down. But there is community out there, community that's fighting for us. So thank you for reminding us about that, too. Thank you so much, Councilmember Hernandez, Councilman Conyers asking. Thank you so much for being here. Angelica And you're really powerful testimony and incredible work you and Triller are doing. There's a false narrative that the Trump administration is pushing, that the people who are being detained are are violent criminals. One of the most powerful ways, I think that we can connect with people and help people understand what's happening is through stories and individual stories of who these people are, who they actually are. Can you without violating anyone's privacy? Tell us a little bit about who some of these people are who are being detained so that we can share those stories with our communities across the city. Well you know, a lot of people ask me, why have I continue to do this work? Because I am inspired and I derive my courage from the courage of the people that I work with. So right now, I'm inspired. I won't use her real name. She asked me not to use it, but she did give me permission. As I was talking to her about about her particular story. So I'll use the word her name as Lisa. So I met Lisa on Saturday morning and AND I TALKED SHE WAS THERE, WITH HER FRIEND WHO WAS ACCOMPANIED HER. AND I TUBEDING HER AND I SAID, I ASKED HER, WHY SHE WAS THERE, SHE SAID MY FATHER HAS BEEN PICKED UP AT THE AMBIANCE FACTORY. AND MY FATHER IS A GOOD MAN. HE HAS BEEN, HE IS ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL FATHERS. HE IS A GREAT FATHER, HE HAS LIVED HERE FOR 27 YEARS AND HE HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG. HE'S ONLY DONE GOOD. SO, LISA, AS WERE, SAT IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE DETENTION CENTER AND SAID, I WILL DO ANYTHING TO SEE IF MY FATHER IS OKAY, GAVE PERMISSION TO WUFNT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO USE HER GAVE HIM AUTHORITY IN ORDER TO GO IN AND LOOK FOR HER FATHER AS WELL BUT SHE DID NOT LEAVE THAT GATE WHEN SHE, SHE STOOD THERE AND SAID I'M GOING TO SIT THERE, IF THEY'RE TAKING ALL OF THESE PEOPLE OUT, MAYBE I'LL SEE MY FATHER. AND SHE SAT THERE JUST, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS, GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE SAW HER DAD. HER DAD WENT BY AND I JUST HEARD SAY, AS SHE WAS SEEING HER, JUST SAY, DAD, DAD, AQUI ESTOY I'M HERE. AND HER FATHER BASICALLY, SHE'S LIKE AT LEAST I SAW HIM. AND HER FATHER WAS TELLING HER, YOU KNOW, CALM DOWN, IT'S OKAY, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY. SO, IT WAS, IT'S JUST VERY HARD TO SEE THIS ALL TIME. BUT TO SEE HER AND HOW MUCH SHE WAS FIGHTING TO MAKE SURE THAT HER FATHER WAS REPRESENTED THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE OKAY. THIS IS A VERY YOUNG WOMEN. THEN ON SUNDAY NIGHT, SHE CALLED ME AT HOME AND TOLD ME, I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU, I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE DETENSION CENTER YOU GUYS WEREN'T BUT I WAS, I NOW KNOW THAT MY DAD IS IN THERE AND I WANT TO YOU KNOW THAT I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP UNTIL I SEE MY DAD. THIS IS A YOUNG U.S. CITIZEN CHILD OF AN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT. AND TO ME, THAT THERE IS SO MANY MORE STORIES THAT I CAN TELL YOU, BUZZ SHE INSPIRES ME. I HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME COURAGE THAT SHE HAS AND I HAVE TO FIGHT ALONG HER IN THE SAME WAY. SO THAT HER FATHER GETS A CHANCE TO STAY HEREAFTER 27 YEARS, HE GETS A CHANCE TO STAY HERE. AND THE FAMILY STAYS REUNITED. >> K. Yaroslavsky: THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER YAROSLAVSKY AND COUNCILMEMBER BLUMENFIELD TO CLOSE. >> B. Blumenfield: THANK YOU FOR COMING IN I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU AND THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION IS DOING. I WANT TO ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION, WHICH IS THE RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK. IS THERE A WAY AND HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT COUNCIL OFFICES, PLUG IN TO THAT? WE GET A LOT OF INFORMATION. WE GET A LOT OF CALLS FROM FOLKS. I HAVE TO FEEL THAT THERE IS A WAY TO CONNECT WITH ALL OF OUR OFFICERS? >> SOME OF YOUR DISTRICT STAFF IS PART OF THE NETWORK, SO IF YOU HAVE, ESPECIALLY YOUR DISTRICT STAFF NA IS IN THE LOCAL OFFICES, THEY SHOULD BE THE FOLKS THAT ARE PLUGGED INTO THAT. SO WE CAN PROVIDE YOU THE INFORMATION THAT THEY WOULD THEN BE ON A SIGNAL TAP, THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET INFORMATION IN REALTIME ESPECIALLY, THE WAY IT'S ORGANIZED IT'S BY COMMUNITIES AND REGIONS, SO THERE IS SAN FERNANDO, SOUTH LOS ANGELES, ET CETERA, CORE L.A. AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR DIFFERENT STAFF THERE. IT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL. AS PART OF THE RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK, WE HAVE MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE THEIR OWN RESPONSE NETWORKS AS WELL. SO YOU HAVE BOTH ELECTED AND OTHERS WHO ARE NOT ELECTED BUT, CITY STAFF AND OTHERS, WHO ARE CONNECTED TO IT, SOMETIMES, THOSE CONNECTED TO SCHOOLS, SO THEN THEY KNOW. AND ALL THAT IT IS, IS THAT YOU KNOW, THERE IS ISAAC TIFF--ICE ACTIVITY OR PRESENCE, BECAUSE WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO SPREAD Staff and many times even closer to the vicinity can say, yes, there is ice presence, there is no ice operation, which is a little bit different. Or yes, there is an ice operation. Let's all go and see what's actually happening. This is only to observe. Our volunteers are trained not to interfere and to actually witness from afar what's actually happening. The most important, the reason the Rapid Response Network exists is to quickly get legal support and counsel to the individuals so they do have a chance to stay here with their families. So it's very simple. Well, we could talk afterwards with your office and you can designate a person. That's great. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Bloomfield. Thank you, members. And thank you so much, Angelika, for spending some time with this this morning on such an incredibly busy time for you. The gratitude of this council and the entire city is with you and all the folks working alongside of you to help us get through this period. It's very, very tough period for our citizens, for our city. And I think even for the United States of America. So again, thank you for everything that that you've done. And we will formally release you back to the struggle at this moment. Angelica Salas, everyone, thank you. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. This is the second verbal warning to Mr. Spindler and>> C THE SECOND VERBAL MEETING, THIS IS THE SECOND WARNING. AND SOMEBODY WALK WITH THE DOG IN THE BACK. I'LL ASK THE CHIEF TO COME TO THE TABLE ALONG WITH HIS COLLEAGUES. Chief, let me start by thanking you for the work that all of you are doing during this difficult time and express my gratitude to all the officers who are on the ground who are facing an impossible situation, and one which I think all of us here agree is being sparked by outside powers beyond our control. Chief, I'm sure you'll hear many, many times today. Los Angeles is a city of immigrants and what has been unfolding on our streets is frankly not surprising, given the increased intensity from federal law enforcement authorities as they visible and often aggressive tactics, as we've witnessed from the federal government, are sending shockwaves through our communities and understandably, many Angelenos are responding by speaking out, organizing and protesting that right to assemble and raise one's voice is fundamental. And all of us fully support the people who are exercising it peacefully. But unfortunately, at the same time, we cannot ignore that a small subset of individuals are seizing this moment to sow division and disorder. They are turning what should be a powerful and peaceful demonstration of First Amendment rights into, unfortunately, into chaos and through vandalism and violence and antagonize them. Chief I appreciate you taking the time to be here and I hope today's conversation shed someI HERE. I HOPE TODAY'S CONVERSATION SHEDS LIGHT ON WHAT IS LAPD IS DOING ON THE GROUND. SO CHIEF I HAVE A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS AND I WOULD LIKE TO START BY ASKING, JUST YOU KNOW, SORT OF GIVE US A BRIEF OVERVIEW JUST AN OVERVIEW OF LAPD OPERATIONS OVER THE PAST FOUR DAYS AND CAN YOU SHARE ANY INFORMATION THE DEPARTMENT HAS ON WHERE THE ICE RAIDS HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE. >> City Attorney: SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF. IS THERES A CLOSE SESSION ITEM ON HERE AS WELL. SO TO THE EXTENT TO THE QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE POSSIBLE RESPONSE TO SEE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AS THEY RELATE TO THREAT TO FACILITIES, THERE IS A CHANCE TO ASK THAT IN CLOSED DOORS. THANK YOU. Multiple arrests across multiple locations. In response, several hundred demonstrators gathered near the federal detention center located at 255 East Temple Street. Each day. The protest escalated in size and intensity throughout the weekend, prompting mutual aid requests and citywide LAPD engagement including metropolitan division, deployment, tactical alerts were declared each day on Friday, June 6th to 2025. Newton area received notice that the FBI, HCI were at 2415 East 15th Street serving criminal warrants. Numerous calls for service were also generated by citizens with the crowd forming at that location. Newton Patrol then received the help Call broadcast by Communication Division four DEA and FBI at the location. The officers encountered a crowd of 40 to 60 protesters who were blocking the exit and were loud but not aggressive. A Newton patrol sergeant responded and assume role of incident commander. He established two skirmish lines and gave directions for the officer to direct the crowd southbound on Santa Fe. The federal agents left the scene shortly thereafter. A DEA agent used O.C. spray on one suspect prior to LAPD arrival. The suspect was arrested by DEA, along with other numerous federal arrests. Excuse me. Federal law enforcement also requested assistance at 930 South Avenue in Newton area. A Newton supervisor responded as a standby with five officers while FBI cleared from the scene. An operation wasE. AN OPERATION WAS ALSO IN NEWTON AREA. NEWTON PATROL PROVIDE THE SAME LIMITED ASSISTANCE AT THIS LOCATION. SEVERAL GATHERED AT THE CENTER LOCATED AT 255 EAST TEMPLE. THE PROTESTERS INITIALLY FOCUSED THEIR ATTENTION AND THEN TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO THE BACK ENTRANCE. THE BACK GATE WAS STUCK IN A OPEN POSITION. PROTESTERS THROUGH PROJECTILE. PROJECTILES WERE THROWN AT OFFICERS. OTHER PROTESTERS GATHERED IN MULTIPLE INTERSECTIONS WHICH DIVERTED TO DEPARTMENT RESOURCES. TACTICAL ALERT WAS DECLARED AND ADDITIONAL MOBILE FORCE WAS ASSEMBLED. ALL GROUPS EVENTUALLY DISSIPATED WITHOUT FURTHER ARREST. A CHALLENGE THAT ADDED TO THE DELAYS IN THE INCIDENT. MULTIPLE PHONE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE FEDERAL AND THERE WAS NO MUTUAL REQUEST. PROMPTED THE INCIDENT COMMANDER TO MAKE ADDITIONAL CALLS. ANOTHER CHALLENGE WAS PROTEST GROUPS, EXCUSE ME CONGREGATED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS REQUIRING PERSONNEL TO BE SPREAD OUT ON MULTIPLE MISSIONS. SATURDAY JUNE 7th, DEMONSTRATION CONTINUED INTO SATURDAY, FUELLED BY ON GOING ICE ARRESTS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. THE CROWD GREW THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND FOCUSED ON FEDERAL COMPLEX. 18-30 HOURS A COORDINATED EFFORT BEGAN IN PROTESTERS DRESSED IN DARK CLOTHING AND COMMUNICATING ON RADIOS, RESULTING IN THROWING PROJECTILES AT OFFICERS. SIMILAR TO THE PRIOR DAY, A LARGE CROWD REMAINED IN THE INTERSECTION NEAR THE FEDERAL COMPLEX. THIS CREATED THE SAME RESOURCE CHALLENGES FOR US. ON SUNDAY, JUNE 8th, INTELLIGENCE GOING INTO SUNDAY INDICATED THERE WOULD BE A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 200 PROTESTERS AT MARIACHI PLAZA, NO OTHER INTELLIGENCE THAT OTHER PROTESTS WILL OCCUR. A GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 200 PROTESTERS ARRIVED AND PROTESTED FROM MARIACHI PLAZA JOINED OUT. A SOON TIME AFTER, THE CROWD STARTED TO THROW PROJECTILES AT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT. COMMUNICATING ON RADIOS. THE PROTESTERS WERE CLEARED FROM THE FEDERAL COMPLEX AND TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO TAKING OVER THE FREEWAY. I'LL ON THE FREEWAY OVER PASS, THE PROTESTERS THREW MASSIVE CARS AND PEOPLE OVER THE PASS. PROTESTING BECAME MULTIPLE GROUPS ENGAGED IN LOOTING AND VANDALISM. DEPARTMENT RESOURCES WERE UNABLE TO HANDLE THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS ALONG WITH SECURING THE STREETS AROUND THE FEDERAL COMPLEX. AS A RESULT MUTUAL AID WAS REQUESTED FROM LOS ANGELES SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND OTHER AGENCIES. OUTSIDE ASSUMED FIXED POSE POSITIONS ALLOWING PERSONNEL TO BE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER MISSIONS. THE PROTEST BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AT ABOUT 1:00 AM AND TACTICAL ALERT WAS CANCELED AT ABOUT 2:30. THE RESISTANCE ON SUNDAY WAS MORE THAN THE PRIOR DAYS, PROTESTERS USED COMMERCIAL GRADE FIREWORKS, MOLOTOV COCKTAILS, WE HAD ONE AT LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY USED BARRIERS WHICH REQUIRED THE USE OF CA GAS IN ORDER TO DISBURSE THE GROUP. I HAVE IN DETAIL, THE EMISSIONS THAT WE USED. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED THAT. IN CLOSE SESSION. OUR EMPLOYMENT OF PERSONNEL AS WELL AS ASSOCIATED AGENCIES AND I CAN GIVE YOU JUST AN OVERVIEW AS TO WHAT THE ARREST NUMBERS, THERE WERE NO ARRESTS THAT FIRST FRIDAY. ON SATURDAY, 17, SUNDAY 40 AND MONDAY 14. AND I CAN GIVE YOU A RUN DOWN ON THE GIFT OF THE ARRESTS. THERE WERE 53 FOR FAILURE TO DISBURSE. 15 FOR LOOTING, ONE FOR VANDALISM, ONE FOR INTERFERING, ONE FOR A-W ON POLICE OFFICER AND ONE ATTEMPT MURDER THAT WAS INCIDENT RELATED FOR A TOTAL OF 114 ARRESTS. INJURY TO OUR OFFICERS, WE HAD ON THAT DAY, ONE METRO OFFICER INJURED IN HIS HAND AND ANOTHER VALLEY TRAFFIC OFFICER RECEIVED A BOTTLE TO THE HEAD. BOTH OFFICERS WERE TREATED AND RELEASES. WE HAD SIX BURGLARY REPORTS ALL IN CENTRAL AREA, HOWEVER WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT MORE COMING, WE'RE AWARE OF I BELIEVE, AT THE TIME 23 LOCATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN INTO AND BEEN LOOTED. AND I HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION THAT I CAN SHARE IN CLOSE SESSION. >> J. Lee: YEAH, THANK YOU, CHIEF. I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN SOME OF THE VIOLENCE ON TV THAT HAS TAKEN AWAY THE ATTENTION FROM THE PEACEFUL PROTESTING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING. IF YOU TELL US ABOUT THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN LAPD AND FEDERAL AGENCIES SUCH AS ICE? >> I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE FEDERAL POLICIES ARE BUT I CAN SPEAK TO THE LAPD USE OF FORCE POLICY. BASICALLY, WHAT WE'VE USED AND MODIFIED WHERE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF, TO USE MINIMUM FORCE NECESSARY TO PREVENT AN ESCAPE OR IF YOU'RE BEING ATTACKED TO DEFEND YOURSELF. >> J. Lee: OKAY, SO THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT STORIES GOING AROUND. SO THERE IS BEEN CLAIMS GOING AROUND ABOUT LAPD BEING COORDINATING WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITY. CAN YOU PROVIDE CLARITY ON THE EFFORTS AS THEY RELATE TO THE, I KNOW YOU JUST GAVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING, AS THEY RELATE TO ANY FEDERAL ENFORCEMENT THAT OCCURED HERE IN THE CITY? >> YES, AS FAR AS COOPERATING COORDINATOR, WE DON'T ENGAGE, AS I STATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WE DON'T ENGAGE IN IMMIGRATION AT ALL. OUR PARTNERS KNOW THAT AND RESPECT THAT AND DO NOT PUT US IN THAT POSITION. AS FAR AS COORDINATING, WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH OUR THE MEMBERS OF FEDERAL AGENCIES IN AN EFFORT TO TRY TO FIND OUT WOO THE SCALE AND SCOPE OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO AND HOW DO WE WORK ALONGSIDE EACH OTHER WITH OUR RESPONSIBILITY MAINTAINING SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY. THOSE CONVERSATIONS WILL BE GOING ON AND WE'LL TRY TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN IN ORDER TO DEPLOY EFFECTIVELY. WHEN WE GET THAT INFORMATION, IN ORDER TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION THAT IS BENEFICIAL TO THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. >> J. Lee: SO YOU'RE NOT INVOLVED WITH IT, BUT CAN YOU CLARIFY WHAT IS THE LAPD'S RESPONSIBILITY WHEN WE ARE CALLED? I'M SORRY, SURE. OUR RESPONSIBILITY WHEN WE RECEIVE A CALL FOR SERVICE IS TO GET THERE AS QUICK AS WE CAN, PRIORITIZING CALLINGS BASED ON CALL LOAD AND SEVERITY AND ABLE TO TAKE IN APPROPRIATE ACTION BRING IN RESOURCES NECESSARY AND MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE COMMUNITY. >> J. Lee: OKAY, SO THERE IS BEEN A LOT OF, CONVERSATIONS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS REGARDING LOS ANGELES SANCTUARY ORDINANCE AND PERCEIVED PROTECTION THAT'S IT GIVES TO THE COMMUNITIES HERE IN LOS ANGELES. 'CAUSE SHARE WITH US THE PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER THIS ORDINANCE PROVIDES ANY PROTECTION TO IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES? >> AS FAR AS PROTECTION, IT'S IN LINE CERTAINLY AS IS CALIFORNIA VALUES ACT WITH THE LAPD POLICY, SINCE 1969 WHICH --1979 WHICH IS NOT TO STOP ANYBODY TO DETERMINE THEIR IMMIGRATION OR LAPD WE DON'T ASK OR IT'S NOT MATERIAL WITH INVOLVED THAT WE HAVE WITH THE INTER AX OF PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES. >> J. Lee: BUT, IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL PROTECTION THAT GIVES AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? >> NO. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO STAND BETWEEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO CARRY OUT. >> J. Lee: OKAY, IS THERE ANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS MAYBE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF? >> OUTSIDE OF THE CITY, THERE WAS A MAJOR DEMONSTRATION IN PROTEST AND VIOLENT INTERACTION BETWEEN ICE AND OTHER ASSOCIATEDTIONS INVOLVED AND THEIR ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY IN THE CITY OF PARAMOUBT MOUNT WHICH IS SERVED BY THE LOS ANGELES SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND THAT WAS ON SATURDAY. >> J. Lee: THANK YOU, CHIEF. I THINK WE PROBABLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. MR. PRESIDENT. BACK TO YOU. >> Council President: YES, WE DO. THANK YOU MR. LEE. COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ. >> M. Rodriguez: THANK YOU. CHIEF, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE TODAY. ARE THERE ANY L.A. CITY FACILITATED THAT HAVE AIDED THE DETENSION OF INDIVIDUALS ANY OF THE POLICE FAS THAILTS HAVE BEEN A PART WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ACCOUNTED UPON? >> NO NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE AT ALL. >> M. Rodriguez: OKAY. ARE YOU, IS LAPD NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE OF ANY RAIDS THAT ICE OR ANY FEDERAL AGENCIES EN GAIJDS IN, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVANCE NOTICE? >> WE WOULD NOT HAVE SPECIFICS. WE GET ADVANCE NOTICE IF SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DO APPREHENSION AND THE NECESSITY IS TO AVOID ANY BLUE ON BLUE ISSUES THAT WE'RE A AWARE THAT THEY'RE DOING WORK ON LOCATION. WE HAVE BEEN GETTING THOSE UNIVERSALLY. >> M. Rodriguez: SO THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CONSISTENT GIVING YOU AN WARNING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PURSUE AN INDIVIDUAL. >> I WOULD SAY, NOT CONSISTENT. >> M. Rodriguez: WERE YOU PROVIDED ANY ADVANCE NOTICE TO THE RAID THAT OCCURED IN ON FRIDAY? >> NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE ONE ON SANTA FE AND 15, TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE FIRST AWARE WAS WHEN THE HELICOPTER CAME OUT AND NEWTON AREA OFFICERS RESPONDED. >> M. Rodriguez: OKAY, CAN YOU PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND INSIDE FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE WHEN GET A HELP CALL? WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENT WHEN THOSE CALLS COME IN? >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. JUST TO PUT IN LAPD IF YOU WILL. WHEN AN OFFICER IS IN THE FIELD AND THEY NEED ADDITIONAL RESOURCE TO SEE HELP DEAL WITH WHAT THEY'RE FACED WITH. IT STARTS WITH REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL UNIT. ABOVE THAT, WE HAVE A REQUEST FOR A BACK UP, NEXT LEVEL IS ASSISTANCE AND THEN THE TOP LEVEL IS HELP. AND GENERALLY WHEN SOMEBODY BE PUTS OUT A HELP CALL. ANYBODY IN THE AREA AT ALL, DROPS WHAT THEY'RE DOING, IF THAT'S FEASIBLE AND GETS TO THE HELP CALL. THAT IS SOMETHING TO US THAT IS SACRED, WE DON'T THINK ABOUT DOING THAT. WE GO AND WE PUT OURSELVES IN WHATEVER SITUATION WE DO TO HELP THE PERSON THERE. OFTEN IT'S A DOWN OFFICER OR SOMEBODY ATTACKED. >> M. Rodriguez: SO WHEN YOU SAY THE HELP CALL, ARE YOU DISTINGUISHED FROM THE HELP CALL IS IT FROM OUR OFFICERS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAD A HELP CALL, WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THAT? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> M. Rodriguez: OKAY, ARE THERE ANY AGENCIES WHERE YOU WOULD NOT RESPOND TO A HELP CALL? >> NO, AND THERE IS NO PERSONA HAS THE SAME KIND OF NEED ON THE STREET THAT WE WOULD NOT RESPOND IN THE SAME FASHION. WE GET THESE ALL THE TIME, STAFF AND SHOOTINGS IN PROGRESS. WE GET THEIR CODE THREE AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. >> M. Rodriguez: OKAY. I'M SORRY? >> THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AS WELL. AND THAT'S ROUTINE. >> M. Rodriguez: RIGHT. YOU INDICATED, I DIDN'T CATCH ALL THE NUMBERS ON THE ARRESTS. 114? >> YES. >> M. Rodriguez: AND YOU INDICATED 15 WERE FOR LOOTING. >> YES. >> M. Rodriguez: SO WE'VE SEEN THE VARIETY OF NEWS COVERAGE, YOU KNOW, FROM ALL OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT IS, WE'VE EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. THERE WERE CIRCUMSTANCES IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, WHERE WE SAW LOOTING OCCURRING WITH SOME OF THE SHOPS AND BUSINESSES. BUT THERE WAS ALSO REPORTING THAT THERE WAS, FROM AND I'M STILL TRYING TO DISSERVICE THE SOURCE, BUT IT WAS ON FOX, ON ALEX MICHAELSON WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL WAS MAKING CLAIMS THAT THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL THAT OBSTRUCTED THE ABILITY FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO ENFORCE. ARE THERE ANY POLICIES THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF OR THAT PERHAPS I'M NOT AWARE THAT, THAT WE HAVE ENACTED THAT ARE OBSTRUCTING THE DEPARTMENT OR OFFICERS FROM APPREHENDING OR PURSUING LOOTERS? >> ABSOLUTELY NOT. >> M. Rodriguez: OKAY, SO TO BE CLEAR THERE IS NO POLICY IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES THAT HAS OBSTRUCTED POLICE OR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL FRZ ARRESTING INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN LOOT ANDING THEFT. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> M. Rodriguez: OKAY. AND, SO, I SAW, FAR MORE THAN 14 INDIVIDUALS ENGAGED IN LOOTING. >> RIGHT. >> >> M. Rodriguez: EXPLAIN TO ME, ESPECIALLY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. WHAT WE SAW A PEACEFUL PROTEST SUBSIDED IN THE AFTERNOON, ONCE DAVID WAS RELEASED, WE SAW A LOT OF THAT RECEDING. BUT THEN YOU SAW A LEVEL, YOU SAW TRUCKS ROLLING IN TO PARTS OF DOWNTOWN WITH MASS DISTRIBUTION OF DIFFERENT You're in the Central Division, right? What observations are being made and deployed or respond to protect downtown from what seemed to be a but because I saw a skirmish line about a block away from where we saw some of the looting occur. So we only have what is on the or what additional deployment is being used to help ensure that those businesses are protected or that the proper suspects that are being saw dozens and dozens of individuals. Yeah, no. Great question. And I think everybody observes the frustrations being what's happened there. When you look at what's happened and you think, why don't the officials just reach out and arrest each of these people, every single arrest somebody, then you have to arrest the teenager for that. And they're arrest, first of all, their transportation, their medical treatment, if they needed medical people, and then put in the capacity of an adolescent. So we have to be judicious when we're out there. As far as what's the most important element in life after that? And so the incident is monitoring as much as we can based on all of the material available to them. But no matter how minimal or be watching what's going on in that and readjusting our response based on the resources available and the priorities that are listed ahead of them, oftentimes during these same periods. While you're focusing on one incident happening, some incidentNG A ST THINGS SUCH AS OTHER HELP CALLS GOING ON FOR OFFICERS BEING UNDER ATTACK. THAT TAKES A PRIORITY OVER PROPERTY TIMES. --CRIMES. BUT WHEN WE DID TO RAMP UP INITIAL LEON FRIDAY, WE WERE DEPLOYED FOR A REGULAR FRIDAY, FRIDAY NIGHT. WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE WHAT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PREPLANNED. SO AS WE WENT INTO THIS OPERATIONAL PERIOD, WE CONTINUE TO BRING IN MORE AND MORE RESOURCES. WE MOBILIZED THE OPERATIONS, PUT OUT A REQUEST THROUGH THE SHERIFF AND MUTUAL AID. AND YESTERDAY, WE HAD 14 DIFFERENT AGENCIES WORKING WITH US TO TRY TO MAINTAIN ORDER IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. AS WE MOVE FORWARD WE WILL CONTINUE IN THAT POSTURE TO MAINTAIN THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES, AND THE PROPERTY OF BUSINESS OWNERS, RESIDENTS AND OTHER FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE AREA AS WELL. >> M. Rodriguez: WE WERE NO STRANGER TO SETTING UP, BECAUSE WE SAW IT AFTER THE LOOTING THAT OCCURED BACK IN 2020, HOW THE DEPARTMENT COULD APPREHEND A LOT OF THOSE SUSPECTS AND IN FACT. THIS COUNCIL APPROVED, 14 MILLION DOLLARS IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, FOR AFTER ACTION REPORT IMPLEMENTATION TRAINING ABOUT HOW TO DO ALL OF THIS WORK RIGHT, ARM ADA, YOU RECALL. SO, ALL OF THAT, WAS EXPENDED AND BUT IN TERMS OF SOME TACTICS AND APPROA Issues as possible causes possible a possible. Have you looked at who's being deployed on some of these to ensure that training but what has occurred in we've we've dedicated a lot of resources to ensuring that the response is appropriate. And so I think I don't want us to be further down the line than being thoughtful about who we're putting there. That was not. I'm not I'm asking you. Has very thoughtful about this. We're putting our people in harm's way every day they go out. Chief I'm asking the question. Chief, I'm asking the question about has there been an evaluation of the individuals that are being deployed and that the training has been conducted? And the reason why I ask is I get it and I understand the tensions are high. But my question is to protect this city. Are we doing that level of evaluation in this process? Patrol officers are formed up into a mobile field forces to get a rapid deployment when there's an emergency to be able to address the need. They are trained in crowd management, crowd control on a variety of different fronts. We then bring in metropolitan division with specialized assets for crowd management and crowd control, and they're extensively trained for this purpose. So we're doing what we can. We're right in the middle of this now. So to be able to come up with an assessment on this kind of thing, we've gotTO BE--BUT YEAH PEOPLE ARE CUTTING A LOT ON THE LINE. AND WE PUT OUR PEOPLE WHO ARE THE PROBLEM AMONG THE BEST TRAINED IN THE UNITED STATES, ON POLICE TACTICS OUT THERE AND THEY'VE BEEN DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB. >> M. Rodriguez: RIGHT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE AGAIN, WE LEARN SOME VERY TOUGH LESSONS IN THE CAKE OF 2020 AND WE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FOR ADDITIONAL TRAINING THAT THE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THEY NEEDED IN ORDER TO BE BETTER PREPARED FOR CIRCUMSTANCES JUST LIKE THIS. SO AS WE'RE RELIVING THIS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THOSE EFFORTS WERE BEING EXERCISED AS WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO RESURRECT. >> I SAY, I WOULD PUT THEM UP AGAINST ANYONE IN THE WORLD OR NEIGHBOR IT THE WORLD AS FAR AS THEIR ABILITY TO COME IN AND MANAGE AN INCIDENT LIKE THIS. I'VE BEEN OUTER THERE AND WATCHING THEM AT THE COMMAND POST. WE NOW HAVE A UNIFIED COMMAND POST FOR ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES INVOLVED. AND IT'S IMPRESSIVE TO WATCH THEM IN ACTION, WHAT INFORMATION THEY HAVE AVAILABLE AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN VERY TIMELY WAY TO BE ABLE TO GET RESOURCES RAPIDLY TO WHERE THEY'RE MOST NEEDED. >> M. Rodriguez: THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> Council President: THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER RODRIGUEZ. COUNCILMEMBER PRICE. >> C. Price: THANK YOU, CHIEF FOR THE REPORT. IT'S A FOLLOW-UP TO COUNCILWOMAN'S QUESTION. WHAT ARE WE DOING, WHAT IS THE DEPARTMENT DOING TO REDUCING THE NUMBER OF INJURIES? AND TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PROTESTERS AND PERSONNEL, ANYTHING SPECIAL? ANYTHING DIFFERENT? WHAT ARE WE DOING? TO CARE FOR MORE? >> I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE THE LEVEL OF RESTRAINT THAT WE'VE SEEN BY OUR PEOPLE OUT THERE. WE HAVE BEEN DISBURSABLE ORDERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WE'VE GIVEN EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE THE AREA. WHEN WE HAVE THE RESOURCES WE'LL ACT UPON THAT AND HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE RESOURCES IN SOME CASES WHERE WE OTHERWISE HAVE MADE ARRESTS. WE'RE BEING VERY CAUTIOUS AND JUDICIOUS. MY CONCERN IS ANY INDIVIDUAL IN THAT ENVIRONMENT THAT NOBODY GETS HURT AS POSSIBLE. BUT THOSE WITH POLICE OFFICER AND OTHER PEOPLE IN THE ENVIRONMENT, WE'RE GOING TO USE THE FORCE THAT IS APPROPRIATE TO TAKE THEM INTO CUSTODY. >> C. Price: AND HOW ARE WE FUNDING THESE PERSONNEL ACTIVATIONS? CAN WE RECOUP RATE ANY OF THESE--RECUPERATE ANY OF THESE COSTS? >> THAT'S SOMETHING AFTER I SPEAK TO THE CAO'S OFFICE AND EXPERTS. I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE WOULD GO TO RECOUP THOSE COSTS. >> C. Price: THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, SIR. >> Council President: IS THAT IT? ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA. >> I. Padilla: OKAY. SO, AGAIN, TENSION RIGHT SIDE HIGH. AND I GIGGLE THAT YOUR LAST COMMENT ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF RESTRAINT, I BELIEVE YOU. BUT THAT'S TRUE FOR THOSE PROTESTING. I THINK THE TENSIONS ARE HIGH, THOSE PROTESTING, WANT TO GET LOUDER AND MORE VIOLENT. I MEAN WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO, YOUR ATTACKING YOUR PARENTS, YOU'RE ATTACKING THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. AND I JUST WANT U TO KNOW THAT ALWAYS WITH THE INTENTION OF FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY DOESN'T DISLIKE ITS POLICE DEPARTMENT. I'M GOING TO START WITH A STORY WHEN I WAS A COLLEGE AND I WENT TO LEARN TO BE A COMMUNITY LEADER IN TEXAS, A COHORT OF US WERE WORK WITHING THE DAY DAILY CENTER BECAUSE THERE WAS A NUMBER OF MEN HARASSING THEM. AS PART OF COALITION THERE WAS A POLICE STATION AND ITCHES THE ONLY ONE FROM LOS ANGELES AND LOT OF FOLKS FROM NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY ASK ME, YOU MUST BE FROM LOS ANGELES. I SAID WHY HOW DO YOU KNOW? BECAUSE ONLY PEOPLE FROM LOS ANGELES DON'T TRUST THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT. THERE IS NOTHING IRREGULAR WITH HAVING A POLICE OFFICER HELP US FIGHT TT INJUSTICE. AND IT ALWAYS STOOD WITH ME THAT IT'S POSSIBLE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY TO NOT FEEL THE WAY PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF GREW UP WITH THE EXPERIENCES WE HAD IN THE 90s AND THIS IS A REALLY GOOD TIME FOR US TO REALLY PROOF THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED. Is responsive to those above it, like the council and the mayor and I know that there's policies that sometimes trigger you be responsive and in cahoots with other law agencies. But I still think that more can be done. So here is my questions. My understanding is that for folks who do engage in terrorizing the vehicles and in the looting, technology has changed. You have the technology now to find them and arrest them. Is that correct ? Oh, we have technology that will certainly help us do that in many cases. And we're going to go aggressively after those that we have on video to be able to identify them and hold accountable for their actions. My understanding, too, is that now with I, if somebody breaks into a car, it's so much more faster to find out if they've like taken off to other parts of the county. Correct Yeah. Potentially the cars could be tracked. Some depending on the type of car. Would it also be dependent on the AI technology? I don't know what you're referring to about that. Well, I just had a case in my district where I was told that they broke into a car and what they the police officers were able to find it. Yeah. AI is a broad term. I'm not sure what they mean. There's a lot of tools out there and a lot of investigative tactics to find people. And we'll use whatever's available legally to us to hold people accountable. So then I guess my next question would probably be for whoever has the expertise of technology for your department. I think if you narrow the question down, what do you mean by A.I? Well, that's where I'm getting to. Okay Can we use technology like A.I? Technology TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE A SITUATION WHERE YOUR DEPARTMENT, CAN IDENTIFY, HEY, THERE IS AGENTS, NON CITY OF L.A., IN THE NEIGHBORING TOWN, EVERY ONE GO ON ALERT, AND IN A WAY WHERE YOU CAN SUPPORT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY TO KNOW NA IT'S TIME THAT IS SOMETHING TO RELATED TO THE LACK OF DUE PROCESS AND LACK OF, WARRANTS, IS ABOUT TO HIT OUR TOWN. >> I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. >> I. Padilla: WHAT CAN YOU YOUR DEPARTMENT TO WARN US TO WARN OUR COMMUNITY THAT OUTSIDE OF OUR L.A. BORDERS COMING IN FROM ENGELWOOD, FROM ANTELOPE VALLEY, YOU CAN WARN US SO WE CAN WARN OUR FOLKS IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR LOYALTY TO THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES? >> SO YOU'RE ASKING ME TO WARN YOU ABOUT AN ENFORCEMENT BEING TAKEN BY ANOTHER AGENCY BEING TAKEN. >> I. Padilla: YEAH. >> YEAH, WE CAN'T DO THAT, THAT WOULD BE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. YOU MAY WANT TO TALK TO THE CITY ATTORNEY ABOUT THAT. >> I. Padilla: WHERE IS THE CITY ATTORNEY. >> Council President: WE'LL HEAR FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY AFTER WE HEAR FROM THE LAPD. WE CAN REVISIT IT. >> I. Padilla: , YEAH, THEY'RE IN ROUTE, WE KNOW THEY'RE COMING TO BRING DISRUPTION, THERE IS NO WAY THAT WE CAN KNOW? >> I DON'T KNOW. HOW TO EVEN RESPOND TO THAT. >> I. Padilla: WASN'T SHE JUST HERE? WHERE DID SHE GO? >> Council President: WE CAN COME BACK. WE'LL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY. >> I. Padilla: I NEED TO KNOW. >> WE DON'T DO THAT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BROADCAST, LIKE THE FBI IS LOOKING FOR A TERRORIST SYSTEM, ARE WE GOING TO TELL THEM IS THE FBI COMING. >> I. Padilla: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. >> I'M USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE. THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE AND ILLEGAL. >> >> I. Padilla: IS SHE COMING? >> Council President: SHE'LL COME IN AFTER. WE'LL HEAR FROM HER AFTER WE HEAR FROM THE CHIEF. COUNCILMEMBER SOTO-MARTINEZ? I'M SORRY, COUNCILMEMBER PADILLA, DID YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? >> I. Padilla: WELL THE MAJORITY WERE GOING TO STEM FROM THAT. >> Council President: OKAY, WE'LL CIRCLE BACK TO THAT. COUNCILMEMBER SOTO-MARTINEZ. >> H. Soto-Martinez: THANK YOU, I UNDERSTAND TENSIONS ARE HIGH I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT DISCUSSING WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING RIGHT NOW. MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ALREADY ASKED MANY QUESTIONS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE. BUT I WANT TO BRING THIS BODY AND HOPEFULLY THE ENTIRE CITY OF LOS ANGELES TO WHAT I THINK SHOULD BE OUR GOAL IN THIS MOMENT AND THAT'S TO MAKING SURE THAT WE KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER AND DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR AUTHORITY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP THEM TOGETHER. THAT SHOULD BE THE GOAL OF THE CITY. WHETHER IT'S A DEPARTMENT OR IN CONTROL OF THIS COUNCIL Without a warrant. They are going to our libraries. They are going to our schools. And their goal is to abduct our parents, family members and children. That is the crisis that we are dealing with right now. The city was working just fine until the federal government decided to come in. They have caused the situation down. They are escalating the situation and they are doing that by bringing armored vehicles, bringing in the National Guard and sending 700 Marines for no reason. They are adding to this issue. It is not the city. Not as much as they are adding to this problem. And so we understand that in these situations, everyone has to do everything in their power to de-escalate the situation. Every single person needs to be here to de-escalate the situation. When there's violence on the street, that is a distraction from what we are trying to accomplish. Angelica Sala said it very well that when people commit violence, they become the story and not the people that are being disappeared. Literally in the middle of the night. We don't even know where people are in this moment. They are literally disappeared and there is massive trauma happening in our city right now. So we've got to keep a steady beat drum. We've got to be disciplined and we've got to stay on message and it's and we cannot control what the federal government does, but we can control how we respond. Has a city of less Angeles response. So, Chief, I got to say, I am I don't want toDON'T WANT TO CON --CONFLATE THINGS, THAT THEY HEAR OF AN ICE SITE ANDING THEY LET PEOPLE KNOW THEIR RIGHTS. WE HAVE A XWRAOUP OF PEOPLE MOBILIZED TO DO THAT. I UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING OUT OF THE NIGHT TRYING TO DO DESTRUCTION TO OUR CITY. AND THEN WE HAVE LIKE A RALLY LIKE WE HAD YESTERDAY WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSE TO SUPPORTING OUR BROTHER HUERTA THAT WAS ORGANIZED AND BOLD AND DIRECT. AND WE HAD CLEAR DEMANDS. BUT AOEG --SEEING LAPD WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE CLEAR PASSAGE TO ICE, DOES NOT HELP THE SITUATION. IT BUILDS DISTRUST FROM THE COMMUNITY WITH LAPD. AND I GET IT, YOU CAN RESPOND BUT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, WE DON'T ENGAGE, I'LL FINISH IN A MINUTE. WE DON'T ENGAGE THAT. BUT IT'S THE PERCEPTION THAT MATTERS. IT'S THE FEELINGS THAT MATTER FROM THE PEOPLE OF LOS ANGELES. TO SEE A REPORTER GET SHOT BY A RUBBER BULLET ON LIVE TELEVISION, DOES NOT ADD TO THE DEES Away from the goal of keeping families together. Just like a few just like a few protesters can take away from the messaging . The same thing can be said by LAPD. It overshadows the response. So I just want people to remember that in this moment, everybody, we as a city has to live by our values and keep our eyes on the prize as we are fighting a white nationalist president that would like nothing better than to come into our city and deport our people. And we have to use everything in our power to fight against that. And we also have to be on message to use the teachings of the civil rights movement, lead with nonviolent direct action, when it doesn't mean we have to be passive. But if we can be bold and we can be confrontational but non-violent , we cannot give people the city , we cannot give the opening that they are looking for. We need to do everything to fight for our folks. And that Chief McDonald, you also have a responsibility with the people that you oversee. Absolutely. We take that very seriously. And anything that you've mentioned and other things that we become aware of, we investigate them. We do that better than any other department in the country holding our people accountable to a very high standard. And that goes for the time we're in right now. But we're in day four of a very difficult time. So to be able to give you a specific answers about any of these, I'll have to I'll have to wait on that and I'll have more. More comments and questions in closed sessions. I just want to say that for you and for the public . Thank you. Councilmember Park COUNCILMEMBER PARK. >> T. Park: THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR BEFORE I ASK MY QUESTIONS, THE FOLKS THAT I'M ABOUT TO ASK ABOUT, ARE NOT THE PEACEFUL PROTESTERS, THESE ARE THE CHAOS AGENTS WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT OUR CITY OR IMMIGRANTS OR OUR COMMUNITIES. 23 BUSINESSES, TRASHED, LOOTED, PEOPLE RIPPING UP OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUSINESSES, SMASHING CARS, I SHUTTER TO THINK WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST THE BUSINESSES AND WHAT IT'S CURRENTLY COSTING TAXPAYERS TO RESPOND TO THIS AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST US TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS WHEN THESE DEMONSTRATIONS COME TO AN END. SO CHIEF, IF THIS, CONDUCT, THE CRIMINAL CONDUCT, NOT THE FREE SPEECH CONDUCT, THE CRIMINAL BAIF, THE LOOTING, THE VANDALIZING AND THE VIOLENCE, IF THAT CONTINUES INTO A 5th NIGHT, WHAT IS OUR PLAN TO STOP IT? WE UNDERSTAND THE STRAIN ON YOUR RESOURCES AND ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT CAUSES AND OTHER PLACES WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE ACTIVATION BUT THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. SO WHAT IS THE PLAN TO PUT AN END TO THE CHAOS. >> NOT SOMETHING THAT I COULD TALK ABOUT IN OPEN SESSION. >> T. Park: THANK YOU. >> CouncilPresident: THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER PARK, COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ. >> E. Hernandez: THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER SOTO-MARTINEZ FOR HIS COMMENTS PARTICULARLY AROUND WHAT IS BEING SEEN. WE'RE CONSTANTLY GETTING VIDEOS ILLUSTRATING ACTIONS BY TAKEN LAPD THAT SEEM OUT OF LINE FOR THE SITUATION. MY COLLEAGUE TALKED ABOUT THE REPORTER, I HAVE LAWYERS POSTING UP VIDEOS OF THEM GETTING SHOT. I'VE SEEN VIDEOS OF NON LETHALS BEING FIRED AT PROTESTERS OVER 50 YARDS AWAY. I HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS. BUT I CAN GET INTO THOSE LATER. WHAT I WANT TO SAY, IS THE CONSTITUTION IS SUPER LAW --SUPREME LAW OF OUR LAND AND AT THIS MOMENT, THE GOVERNMENT IS VIOLATING OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR RIGHTS AS A CITY AND STATE. AND WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME. AND IF THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES, IT FEELS INAPPROPRIATE TO FOLLOW THE RULES THAT ENABLE THEIR ACTIONS HERE. SO I JUST WANTED TO LIFT THAT, IF, WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION AND WE CAN'T BE A VIEEDING BIT RULES WHEN THEY ARE NOT. AND I'M NOT SAYING WE BREAK THE RULES, BUT WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE HAVE TO MOVE SO WE'RE PROTECTING OUR ANGELINOS AND I OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO SPEAK IN CLOSE SESSION BUT I WANT TODAY BRING THAT UP. >> Council President: THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER HERNANDEZ, BEFORE I GET TO LEE TO WRAP UP AND TAKE US INTO CLOSE, I WOULD NOTE THE TIME TO MEMBERS, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SAY THIS IN PUBLIC. ONE I WANT TO THANK YOU AS A PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNCIL FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE. YOU KNOW, DEPUTY, I SAW YOUR OFFICERS COME INTO CONTACT WITH LOOTERS COMING OUT OF STORES WITH MERCHANDISE IN THEIR HAND AND PULL SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE UNDER ARREST AND MANAGING DOWNTOWN AND KEEPING THE DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTIVE RELATIVELY CONTAINED GIVEN HOW WIDESPREAD IT CAN BE IN THE NATURE OF THE CITY. SO I WANT ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE THOSE FOLKS, THIS IS NOT, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS TOUGH WORK CHASING PEOPLE AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHO HAVE R THERE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF CARRYING CRIMES THAT THEY THINK, THEY HAVE THE COVERAGE OF A PROTEST THAT ENDED HOURS EARLIER, THEY THINK THEY HAVE THE COVERAGE. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT AGAIN I WANT TO SAY FOR THE PUBLIC TO HEAR AND THAT IS, SOMEBODY AT MIDNIGHT, RUNNING AROUND LOOTING, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A PROTEST EARLIER, THAT PERSON IS NOT A PROTESTER. THAT PERSON IS A LOOTER, THAT PERSON IS A CRIMINAL. I HAVE A LOT OF DIFFICULTY WITH THOSE PEOPLE BEING REFERRED TO AS PROTESTERS, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT. ANY MORE THAN THE DODGER FANS THAT THIS HAPPENS WHEN THIS HAPPENS AFTER PARADE, WE DON'T SAY DODGER FANS BURNED DOWN A BUILDING, WE SAID CRIMINALS BURNED DOWN THE BUILDING. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THEY DIFFERENTIATE THAT. I WANT TO ESPECIALLY COMPLIMENT ALONG WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, SCIU YESTERDAY. AROUND THEIR ACTION HAD A ROPE LINE, THEY HAD MONITORS, THEY PEOPLE WERE MASKS CAME TO GET INTO THE ACTION, THEY SAID NO YOU CANNOT BE PART OF OUR ACTION. THEY DID THE WORK AND WORKED ALONGSIDE YOU. THERE WAS NOT ONE SINGLE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED THERE. BUT THE NEWS MEDIA DIDN'T COVER THAT. SO, LET'S BE CLEAR ABOUT WHO PROTESTERS ARE AND WHO AREN'T. PROTESTERS PROTEST. AND PEOPLE WHO LOOT, ARE LOOTERS, AND PEOPLE WHO ROB STORES ARE ROBBERS AND WE SHOULD BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT DISTINCTION AND I ASK TO YOU DO THAT. AND THEN THORNY, FOR PU CHIEF AND FOR THE DEPARTMENT BUT AS A REQUEST I WOULD PUT FORWARD, IF WE KNOW SOMEBODY IS COMING HERE, TO DO WARRANTLESS ABDUCTIONS, OF THE RESIDENTS OF THIS CITY, THOSE PEOPLE AREN'T OUR PARTNERS. THEY'RE JUST NOT. I DON'T CARE WHAT BADGE OR WHO'S ORDERS THEY'RE UNDER, THEY ARE NOT OUR PARTNERS. AND SURE WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE STREETS, I'M NOT OBJECTING TO ANYTHING YOU DID BUT THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THEIR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS. THEY MAY BE PARTNERS WITH OTHER PEOPLE, THEY AIN'T PARTNERS WITH US. AND I WANT TO BE SUPER CLEAR ABOUT THAT. AGAIN, JUST DISTINGUISHING WHO IS WHO. YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO AND YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO CALLS AND I'M NOT CRITICIZING THAT, BUT TO REFER THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE CARRYING OPENLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIVITIES, THOSE ARE OUR NOT OUR PARTNERS. AND WITH THAT, I'LL GO TO COUNCILMEMBER LEE TO CLOSE BEFORE WE GO TO CLOSE SESSION. >> J. Lee: THANK YOU, CHIEF, THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS. I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE, THIS IS A VERY EMOTIONAL TIME FOR OUR CITY AND WE APPRECIATE OUR OFFICERS AND THE DIFFICULT TASK THAT THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH WITH THIS UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION. I APPRECIATE THE COMMUNICATION THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND BUT ASK THAT YOU CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THIS COUNCIL SO THAT WELCOME TRY TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE THE BEST OUT OF WHAT THIS SITUATION IN FRONT OF US, THIS X-RAYS' SITUATION THAT IS IN FRONT OF US. >> THANK YOU. >> J.

THANK YOU. >> Council President: OKAY, WITH THAT, I'LL TURN TO THE CITY ATTORNEY AND WE'LL PREPARE WITH CLOSE SESSION WITH THE CHIEF AND FOLLOWING THE CHIEF WE'LL HAVE THE CITY ATTORNEY.

Someone who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as 5 minutes. Minutes count and your LAFD thanks you for learning how to stop the bleed by following the ABCs. If someone has an injury with blood spurting out of the wound, clothing soaked in blood, bleeding that won't stop or loss of any part of an arm or leg. You need to act quickly. The first step is a four alert. Have someone called 911. The next step is be for bleeding. Locate out the bleeding injury and remove any clothing covering the area so you can see the injury. The final step is C for compress use any clean cloth. Apply the dressing directly to the wound and press down hard. Push down on top of the wound with both hands as hard as you can.

Keep steady pressure until help arrives. Regularly scheduled meeting of the Los Angeles City Council. Here's what's happening in LA this week. This is LA Times. This is about all of us. It's about choosing to believe in our city again and proving it with action and no matter what our city faces, L.A. never, ever gives up. Hi, I'm Eric Scott, the captain and public information officer for the Los Angeles City Fire Department. Often people ask us, really, what is brush clearance and why is it important? So simply put, brush fires continue to threaten life and property in the very high fire hazard severity zone. So that means areas that are prone to wildfires and having brush clearance provides us the defense able space to save those lives and property. So particularly when you're clearing all of those ground fuels or the lower vegetation that really helps us because it will present what is called the fire ladder. And that's when the fire starts off low on the ground and it starts to climb upward to where it gets spread by winds. So what you might see is an ember would land on the ground. It would ignite the grass that is there, what we call as light flashy fuel. And then it's going to jump to those lower hanging limbs or those branches and starts to climb up the tree ignites that heavier fuel, and that just exasperates the problem. So this requirement does not apply to your healthy fruit trees or privacy hedges or ornamental shrubbery. As long as that's all well maintained, meaning that it's free of all dead and dry material. Also, people ask, what are the basic brush clearance requirements? So your basic requirements are this you want to trim the weeds in the grass down to three inches. You need to trim the bottom third of a bush. The bottom six feet of a tree. Now, around your home, you'd want to maintain five feet clearance from the roofline. So if you're five foot tall and you're walking the perimeter of your roof, nothing should hit you in the head. And then you want to double that to ten feet from the chimney fences and roadways. It's important to note that these requirements are all within 200 feet of any structure or home, regardless if that structure or home is on your property or adjoining properties like your neighbors. So it's those areas that need to be clear in order to limit the spread of fire and to provide the defensible space for US firefighters to safely operate. So simply put, we'll provide the offense if you provide the defense. So here's your basic inspection process. Yes, it begins with the owner's self inspection. So you want to compare your native brush and your landscape vegetation on your property with the information that you're going to find in the mailer and also on the LAFD .org/ brush website. Now, if you have difficulties, you're not able to do that yourself. You can hire a professional who can both understand the information and then apply it to the property that you own. But you want to clear your property as required prior to May 1st this year, and that way you're going to pass the fire department's inspection and you're avoid a $33 non-compliance fee and also a time consuming second inspection, which comes with a costly $668 non-compliance fee. So it's important to note, too, that there's no need to call for an inspection at any time. You don't need to call for an inspection. We're going to do that automatically. Our computer system tracks all the properties that are due for an inspection, so then we'll have an appropriate inspect where they're going to be notified that your property is due and they're going to come in and inspect and or re inspect if needed. Now for the first inspection, that first inspection is done by us. The fire department, and it is in May first and it continues until June 30th. However, we want people to know that it is a year round record Diamant to have brush clearance and all parcels that are within that very high fire hazard severity zone. They will be initially inspected and those parcels that are found in violation are going to be issued a notice of violation and they'll be assessed. And that's when you get that $33 non compliance fee. Then the homeowner has about 30 days to comply with that notice of violation and the owner can check the status of their property by registering an account at VMS three LAFD .org. So now when we come to the second inspection, that means that you as a home owner were issued a notice of violation on the first inspection. So then you're going to be inspected a second time after that 30 day period. That gives you that grace period of 30 days to correct the violation. Then owners can check the status of their property again by registering your account at VMS. Three LAFD .org. Now if the property is not fully in compliance, once upon initial inspection that owner is going to be notified via mail or email . If it registered within that website that we mentioned. So it's important to also say there's no need to call the LAFD Brush Unit when you're ready for your re-inspection, that re-inspection will be automatically scheduled as appropriate with their timeframes. It's all computerized, so if your property remains in noncompliance after a failed re-inspection, then it's going to be cleared by city county factors and the property owner or you will be invoiced a non-compliant fee of $668 plus an administrative fee of $1,498 on top of the contractor's fee. So you certainly want to avoid this. We get asked a lot of questions. Here is your top seven most frequently asked questions and the answer. So number one is, how can I check the brush status of my own property? Again, that's that important website that we're driving home. The VMs three left, dawg, you could register a new brush clearance account there and check the status. Now use your APN or the assessor parcel number as well as a PIN, which is your personal ID number. It's going to be printed on the bottom of the owner. Notice location that was mailed to you and Italy in March. Often we get asked, well, what is the best way to contact the brush unit? Simply put, the best way is to send an email. You send it to LAFD, brush at L.A. City Morgue. Now if you incorporate your APN and a brief description of the issue or the problem that you would like to discuss that greatly assists us in determining who you are and what the issue is. And then a member of our brush unit will respond to you within 48 hours. Also so you could feel free to call. It's the number is one 809 944444. But we do ask for your patience in advance because it's very busy and there's minimal and specktor so we have limited resources to take your call, but the office hours are from 7 a.m. until 3:00 pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. So what if you received a notice of noncompliance in the mail? What are you supposed to do then? Well, start by reading that notice very carefully. Identify the actual violations that were mentioned on your property. See what was site ID there, and then you could follow the steps in the frequently asked questions. The first one there to see photos that was taken by the inspector of your property and where the problem is. Then you want to correct those violations by the due date. So look at that due date. It'll be located at the top right corner of your notice. Here's another question we get. Okay. You were issued a notice of non compliance and now you did the right thing. You finish clearing your property of the violation means that you were cited. Now what? What's next? Well, truthfully, you don't have to do anything at this point. After the allotted 30 day period, a fire inspector is going to re inspect your property. And if your property is still in noncompliance, then you get that second notice to abate the fire hazard that will be mailed to you. Now the city will start the process to have your property cleared by a contractor at your expense. So you want to avoid that. Some ask if there is a particular contractor that should be used to clear your property. Well, simply put, the city does not provide a recommendation, nor do we endorse any contractor. So really it's you as the property owner. It's your responsibility to request the current proof of insurance if they're bonded, if they have a license and obtain any other relevant information about that contract. But we do try to help. So there is a brush clearance contractor list on the website. So what do you do if you feel that the inspector is wrong and that your property is in compliance? And can you file an appeal? Well, the answer is yes. Yes, you can visit the LAFD brush website to view the detailed inspection process, and that includes appeals. However, note that a failed inspection will subject you as the owner to fees that continue to increase with each failed inspection, all billing is conducted through the city's accounting Services section, so if you have questions about that concerning your fees or your invoices or any fees that even could be attached to a tax bill, you should direct those to the source that's accounting. So you could either call them. At 2139783424, or you can send an email to LAFD dot brush a CTG at LA City .org. We understand that many people might be worried about their neighbors property and that they might have a fire hazard because of some overgrown brush. And how would you report that? So first off, we want you to know that the fire department wants to hear your concerns so we can provide the clearance necessary for our firefighters to protect your property and your neighborhood so you can report a brush fire hazard by email to LAFD Brush at L.A. City .org. Now please make sure that you include the exact location of the brush hazards. The address. If you have the APN, that would be even better. But of course you need to put a brief description of what the hazards are and where those hazards are. On the property. And of course, it's best not to go looking at those hazards on that neighbor's property without permission. You also can make your complaint by phone. That same phone number we've provided before to our brush clearance unit is one 800 9944444. And again, we welcome your complaint . But remember too, that we have limited resource SES to take your call and those hours are from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. Join LA's Public Library for June Jubilee.

It's about choosing to believe in our city again and proving it with action. And no matter what our city faces. L.A. never, ever gives up. Hi, I'm Eric Scott, a captain and public information officer for the Los Angeles City Fire Department. Often people ask us, really, what is brush clearance and why is it important? So simply put, brush fires continue to threaten life and property in the very high fire hazard severity. So that means areas that are prone to wildfires and having clearance provides us the defensible space to save those lives and property. So particularly when you're clearing all of those ground fuels or the lower vegetation that really helps us because it will present what is called the fire ladder and. That's when the fire starts off low on the ground and it starts to climb upward to where it gets spread by winds. So what you might see is an ember would land on the ground. It would ignite the grass that is there, what we call as light flashy fuel and then it's going to jump to those lower hanging limbs or those branches and starts to climb up the tree, ignites that heavier fuel and that just exasperates the problem. So this requirement not apply to your healthy fruit trees or privacy hedges or ornamental shrubbery as long as that's all well maintained, meaning that it's free of all dead and dry material. Also, people ask, well, what are the basic brush clearance required? So your basic requirements are this you want to trim the weeds in the grass down to three inches. You need to trim the bottom third of a bush. The bottom six feet of a tree. Now around your home. You'd want to maintain five feet clearance from the roofline. So if you're five foot tall and you're walking the perimeter of your roof, nothing should hit you in the head and then you want to double that to ten feet from the chimney fences and roadways. It's important to note that these requirements are all within 200 feet of any structure or home, regardless if that structure or home is on your property or or adjoining properties like your neighbors. So it's those areas that need to be clear in order to limit the spread of fire and to provide the defensible space for us firefighters to safely operate. So simply put, we'll provide the offense if you provide the defense. So here's your basic inspection process. It begins with the owner's self inspection. So you want to compare your native brush and your landscape vegetation on, your property with the information that you're going to find in the mailer. And also on the LAFD .org/ brush website. Now if you have difficulties, you're not able to do that yourself. Can hire a professional who can both understand the information and then it to the property that you own. But you want to clear property as required prior to May 1st this year and way you're going to pass the fire department's and you're avoid a $33 non compliance fee and also a time consuming second inspection which comes with a costly $668 noncompliance fee. So it's important to note, too, that there's no need to call for an inspection at any time. You don't need to call for an inspection. We're going to do that automatically. Our computer system tracks all the properties that are due for an inspection, so then we'll have an appropriate inspector. They're going to be notified that your property is due and they're going to come in and inspect and or re inspect if needed. Now for the first inspection, that first inspection is done by us, the fire department, and it is in May first and it continues until June 30th. However, we want people to know that it is a year round to have brush clearance and all parcels that are within that very high fire hazard severity zone. They will be initially those parcels that are found in violation are going to be issued a notice of violation at and they'll be assessed and that's when you get that $33 non compliance fee. Then the homeowner has about 30 days to comply with that notice of violation and the owner can check the status of their property by registering an account at VMS three LAFD .org. So now when we come to the second inspection, that means that you as a homeowner were issued a notice of violation on the first inspection. So then you're going to be inspected a second time after 30 day period. That gives you that grace period of 30 days to correct the violation. Then owners can check the status of their property again by registering your account at VMS. Three LAFD org. Now if the property is not fully in compliance upon initial inspection, then that owner is going to be notified via mail or email if it registered within that website that we mentioned. So it's important to also say there's no need to call the LAFD Brush Unit when you're ready for your re-inspection action. That re-inspection will be automatically scheduled as appropriate with their timeframes. It's all computerized so if your property remains remains in noncompliance after a failed re-inspection, then it's going to be cleared by . City contractors and the property owner or you will be invoiced a non compliance fee of $668 plus an administrative fee of $1,498 on top of the contractor's fee. So you certainly want to avoid this. We get asked a lot of questions. Here is your top seven most frequently asked questions. And the answer. So number one is, how can I check the brush status of my own property? Again, that's that important website that we're driving home. The VMs three Levorg. You can register a new brush clearance account there and check the status. Now use your APN or the assessor parcel number as well as a PIN which is your personal identification number. It's going to be printed on the bottom of the owner notification that was mailed to you annually in March. Often we get asked, well, what is the best way to contact the brush unit? Simply put, the best way is to send an email. You send it to LAFD Brush at L.A. City Morgue. Now if you import operate your APN and a brief description of the issue or the problem that you would like to discuss that greatly assists us in determining who you are and what the issue is. And then a member of our brush unit will respond to you within 48 hours. Also, you can feel to call it's the number is. One 800 9944444. But we do ask for your patience in advance because it's very busy and there's minimal inspector. So we have a limited resource forces to take your call, but the office hours are from 7:00 am until 3:00 pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. So what if you received a notice of noncompliance in the mail? What are you supposed to do then? Well, start by reading that notice very carefully. Identify the actual violations that were mentioned on your property. See what was cited there, and then you could follow the steps in the frequently asked questions. The first one there to see photos shows that was taken by the inspector there of your property and where the problem is. Then you want to correct those violations by the due date. So look at that due date. It will be located at the top right corner of your notice. Here's another question we get. Okay. You finish clearing your property of the violations that you were cited. Now what? What's next? Well truthfully, you don't have to do anything at this point. After the allotted 30 day period of fire, inspector is going to re inspect your property. And if your property is still in noncompliance, then you get that second notice to abate the fire hazard that will be mailed to you. Now the city will start the process to have your property cleared by a contractor at your expense. So you want to avoid that. Some ask if there is a particular contractor that should be used to clear your property. Well, simply put, the city does not provide a recommendation nor do we endorse any contractor. So really it's you as the property owner. It's your responsibility to request the current proof of insurance if they're bonded, if they have a license and obtain any other relevant information about that contract. But we do try to help. So there is a brush clearance contractor list on the website. So what do you do if you feel that the inspector is wrong and that your property is in compliance? And can you file an appeal? Well, the answer is yes. Yes, you can visit the LAFD brush website to view the detailed inspection process, and that includes appeals. However, note that a failed inspection will subject you as the owner to fees that continue to increase with each failed inspection. All billing is conducted through the city's accounting services section. So if you have questions about that concerning your fees or your invoices or any fees that even could be attached to a tax bill, you should direct those to the source that's accounting so you can either call them. At 2139783424, or you can send an email to LAFD dot brush a CC TG at city .org. We understand that many people might be worried about their neighbors property and that they might have a fire hazard because of some overgrown . And how would you report that? So first off, we want you to know that the fire department wants to hear your concerns so we can provide the clearance necessary for our firefighters to protect your property and your neighborhood so you can report a brush fire hazard by email to LAFD Brush at L.A. City .org. Now please make sure that you include the exact location of the brush hazards. The address. If you have the APN, that would be even better. But of course you need to put a brief description of what the hazards are and where those hazards are on property. And of course, it's best not to go looking at those hazards on that neighbor's property without permission. You also can make your complaint by phone. That same phone number we provided before to our brush clearance unit is one 800 9944444. And again, we welcome your complaint. But remember too, that we have limited resources to take your call and those hours are from 7 a.m. to 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. Join LA's Public Library for June Jubilee.

ITEM 52 SO THE COUNCIL IS GOING INTO CLOSE SESSION, I ASK THAT EVERYBODY EXIT THE ROOM WHO IS NOT STAFF OF THE COUNCILMEMBER, CITY ATTORNEY, WE'LL BE HEARING ON THE CITY ATTORNEY ON THIS ITEM. [COUNCIL IN EXECUTIVE CLOSED SESSION] Down to three inches. You need to trim the bottom third of a bush. The bottom six feet of a tree. Now around your home, you'd want to maintain five feet clearance from the roofline. So if you're five foot tall and you're walking the perimeter of your roof, nothing should hit you in the head and then you want to double that to ten feet from the chimney fences and roadways. It's important to note that these requirements are all within 200 feet of any struck nature or home, regardless if that structure or home is on your property or or adjoining properties like your neighbors. So it's those areas that need to be clear in order to limit the spread of fire and to provide the defense possible space for us firefighters to safely operate. So simply put, we'll provide the offense if you provide the defense. So here's your basic inspection process. It begins with the owner's self inspection. So you want to compare your native brush and your landscape vegetation on your property with the information that you're going to find in the mailer. And also on the LAFD .org/ brush website. Now if you have difficulties, you're not able to do that yourself. You can hire a professional who can both understand the information and then apply it to the property that you own. But you want to clear your property as required prior to May 1st this year and that way you're going to pass the fire departments, inspect and you're avoid a $33 non compliance fee and also a time consuming second inspection which comes with a costly $668 non-compliance fee. So it's important to note, too, that there's no need to call for an inspection at any time. You don't need to call for an inspection. We're going to do that automatically. Our computer system tracks all the properties that are due for an inspection, so then we'll have an appropriate inspector. They're going to be notified that your property is due and they're going to come in and inspect and or re inspect if needed. Now for the first inspection, that first inspection is done by us, the fire department, and it is in May first and it continues until June 30th. However, we want people to know that it is a year round requirement to have brush clearance and all parcels that are within that very high fire hazard severity zone. They will be initially inspected. Those parcels that are found in violation are going to be issued a notice of violation and they'll be assessed. And that's when you get that $33 non compliance fee, then the homeowner has about 30 days to comply with that notice of violation and the owner can check the status of their property by registering an account at VMS three LAFD .org. So now when we come to the second inspection, that means that you as a homeowner were issued a notice of violation on the first inspection. So then you're going to be inspected a second time after that 30 day period that gives you that grace period of 30 days to correct the violation. Then owners can check the status of their property again by registered. Seeing your account at VMS three LAFD org. Now if the property is not fully in compliance upon initial inspection, then that owner is going to be notified via mail or email or if it registered within that website that we mentioned. So it's important to also say there's no need to call the LAFD Brush Unit when you're ready for your re inspect. That re-inspection will be automatically scheduled as a appropriate with their time frames. It's all computerized, so if your property remains mains in noncompliance after a failed re-inspection, then it's going to be cleared by city contractors and the property owner or you will be invoiced a non compliance fee of $668 plus an administrative fee of $1,498 on top of the contractor's fee. So you certainly want to avoid this. We get asked a lot of questions. Here is your top seven most frequently asked questions. And the answer. So number one is, how can I check the brush status of my own property? Again, that's that important website that we're driving home. The VMs three Levorg you could register a new brush clearance account there and check the status. Now use your APN or the assessor parcel number as well as a PIN which is your personal identification number. It's going to be printed on the bottom of the owner notification that was mailed to you annually in March. Often we get asked, Well, what is the best way to contact the brush unit? Simply put, the best way is to send an email. You send it to LAFD Brush at L.A. City Morgue. Now if you in Corpus date your APN and a brief description of the issue or the problem that you would like to discuss that greatly assists us determining who you are and what the issue is. And then a member of our brush unit will respond to you within 48 hours. Also, you could feel free to call. It's the number is one 809 944444. But we do ask for your patience in advance because it's very busy and there's minimal inspector. So we have a limited resource as to take your call. But the office hours are from 7 a.m. until 3:00 pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. So what if you received a notice of noncompliance in the mail? What are you supposed to do then? Well I'll start by reading that notice very carefully. Identify the actual violations that were mentioned on your property. See what was cited there, and then you could follow the steps in the frequently asked questions. The first one there to see photos shows that was taken by the inspector here of your property and where the problem is. Then you want to correct those violations by the due date. So look at that due date. It'll be located at the top right corner of your notice. Here's another question we get. Okay. You were issued a notice of noncompliance and now you did the right thing. You finished clearing your property of the violations that you were cited. Now what? What's next? Well, truthfully, you don't have to do anything at this point. After the allotted 30 day period, a fire inspector is going to re inspect your property. And if your property is still in non compliance, then you get that second notice to abate the fire hazard that will be mailed to you. Now the city will start the process to have your property cleared by a contractor at your expense. So you want to avoid that. Some ask if there is a particular contractor that should be used to clear your property. Well, simply put, the city does not provide a recommendation, nor do we endorse any contract. So really it's you as the property owner. It's your responsibility to request the current proof of insurance if they're bonded, if they have a license and obtain any other relevant information about that contract. But we do try to help. So there is a brush clearance contractor list on the website. So what do you do if you feel that the inspector is wrong and that your property is in compliance and can you file an appeal? Well, the answer is yes. Yes, you can visit the LAFD brush website site to view the detailed inspect process, and that includes appeals. However, note that a failed inspection will subject you as the owner to fees that contain you to increase with each failed inspection. All billing is conducted through the city's accounting services section, so if you have questions about that concerning your fees or your invoices or any fees that even could be attached to a tax bill , you should direct those to the source that's accounting. So you could either call them at 2139783424, or you can send an email to LAFD dot brush a CTG at L.A. City .org. We understand that many people might be worried about their neighbors property and that they might have a fire hazard because of some overgrown brush. And how would you report that? So first off, we want you to know that the fire department wants to hear your concerns so we can provide the clearance necessary for our firefighters to protect your property and your neighborhood so you can report a brush fire hazard by email to LAFD brush at L.A. City. Org. Now please make sure that you include the exact location of the brush hazards. The address. If you have the APN, that would be even better. But of course you need to put a brief description of what the hazards are and where those hazards are on the property and of course it's best not to go looking at those hazards on that neighbor's property without permission. You also can make your complaint by phone. That same phone number we provided before to our brush clearance unit is. One 800 9944444. And again, we welcome your complaint. But remember too, that we have limited resources to take your call and those hours are from 7 a.m. to 3:00 pm. Monday through Friday. Join LA's Public Library.

It's about choosing to believe in our city again and proving it with action. And no matter what our city faces. L.A. never, ever gives up. Hi, I'm Eric Scott, a captain and public information officer for the Los Angeles City Fire Department. Often people ask us, really, what is brush clearance and why is it important? So simply put, brush fires continue to threaten life and property in the very high fire hazard severity zone. So that means areas that are prone to wildfire fires and having brush clearance provides us the defensible space to save those lives and property . So particularly when you're clearing all of those ground fuels or the lower vegetation, that really helps us because it will present what is called the fire ladder. And that's when the fire starts off low on the ground and it starts to climb upward to where it gets spread by winds. So what you might see is an ember would land on the ground. It would ignite the grass that is there, what we call as light flashy fuel. And then it's going to jump to those lower hanging limbs or those branches and starts to climb up the tree, ignites that heavier fuel and that just exasperates the problem. So this requirement does not apply to your healthy fruit trees or privacy hedges or ornamental shrubbery, as long as that's all. Well maintained, meaning that it's free of all dead and dry material. Also, people ask, well, what are the basic brush clearance requirements? So your basic requirements are this you want to trim the weeds and the grass down to three inches. You need to trim the bottom third of a bush, the bottom six feet of a tree. Now, around your home, you'd want to maintain five feet clearance from the roofline. So if you're five foot tall and you're walking the perimeter of your roof, nothing should hit you in the head. And then you want to double that to ten feet from the chimney fences and roadways. It's important to note that these requirements are all within 200 feet of any structure or home, regardless if that structure or home is on your property or adjoining properties like your neighbors. So it's those areas that need to be clear in order to limit the spread of fire and to provide the defensible space for us firefighters to safely operate. So simply put, we'll provide the offense if you provide the defense. So here's your basic inspection process. It begins with the owner's self inspection. So you want to compare your native brush and your landscape vegetation on your property with the information that you're going to find in the mailer and also on the LAFD .org slash brush website. Now if you have difficulties and you're not able to do that yourself, you can hire a professional who can understand the information and then apply it to the property that you own. But you want to clear your property as required prior to May 1st. This year. And that way you're going to pass the fire departments inspection and you're avoid a $33 non compliance fee and also a time consider coming second inspection which comes with a costly $668 non compliance fee. So it's important to note too that there's no need to call for an INSP action at any time. You don't need to call for an inspection we're going to do that automatically. Our computer system tracks all the properties that are due for an inspection, so then we'll have an appropriate inspector they're going to be notified that your property is due and they're going to come in and inspect and or re inspect if needed. Now for the first inspection, that first inspection is done by us. The fire department, and it is in May 1st and it continues until June 30th. However we want people to know that it is a year round end requirement to have brush clearance and all parcels that are within that very high fire hazard severity zone.

Then the homeowner has about 30 days to comply with that notice of violation and the owner can check the status of their property by registering an account at VMS three LAFD .org. So now when we come to the second inspection, that means that you as a homeowner were issued a notice of violation on the first inspection. So then you're going to be inspected a second time after that 30 day period. That gives you that grace period of 30 days to correct the violation. Then owners can check the status of property again by registering your account at VMS. Three LAFD org. Now if the property is not fully in compliance upon initial inspection, that owner is going to be notified via mail or email . Well, if it registered within that website that we mentioned so, it's important to also say there's no need to call LAFD Brush Unit when you're ready for your re-inspection. That re-inspection will be automatically scheduled appropriate with their timeframes. It's all computer ized. So if your property remains in noncompliance after a failed reinstall section, then it's going to be cleared by city contractors and the property owner or you will be invoiced a noncompliance fee of $668 plus administrator fee of $1,498 on top of the contractor's fee. So you certainly want to avoid this . We get asked a lot of questions here is your top seven. Most frequently asked questions and the answer.
