LA CITY COUNCIL MOVES TO BAN CITY WORKERS' SIDE JOBS WITH ICE, CBP, DHS

Los Angeles is moving to draft an ordinance barring municipal employees and sworn personnel from taking outside employment with federal immigration enforcement agencies, including ICE, CBP and DHS. The motion, advanced by the Personnel and Hiring Committee, directs city officials to prepare the policy, which could also restrict related contractual support roles like data analysis, legal assistance and outreach. Sponsors say the move aims to prevent city participation in immigration enforcement actions and maintain trust with immigrant communities. The proposal builds on existing limits on outside employment and aligns with a broader California trend of local non-cooperation measures.
