LAPD Should Verify ICE Agents' Identification During Raids
Jul 1, 2025·Location: Los Angeles, CA

Two Los Angeles City Council members introduced motions to require LAPD to verify the identities of individuals claiming to be law enforcement and increase penalties for impersonating public safety personnel. The motions address plainclothes individuals in unmarked vehicles conducting immigration enforcement without proper identification. The motions were introduced following immigration enforcement actions in Huntington Park and other areas across Los Angeles County.
