The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will consider four motions introduced by Supervisor Hilda Solis that address the federal government’s ongoing crackdown on illegal immigration and federal funding cuts affecting programs for undocumented immigrants.
The first motion would launch a cash aid fund within 30 days to support workers and families impacted by immigration raids. It also calls for potential expansion of the Small Business Interruption Fund, set to begin in August 2025, expanding the county’s pet foster program and promoting resources for pet owners and families impacted by ongoing immigration raids, and exploring a program to recover and return work equipment left behind by those detained.
The second motion promotes the county’s Restaurant Meals Program, encouraging restaurant owners to enroll and expand meal access for vulnerable residents, including SNAP beneficiaries, especially those communities affected by wildfires and immigration enforcement.
The third motion reviews the impact of the federal “Big Bill,” which includes cuts to Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and other programs.
The fourth motion directs county counsel to take or join legal actions to oppose federal restrictions limiting undocumented immigrants’ access to programs such as Head Start and community health centers, behavioral health programs, and more.
