LA Sheriff McDonnell Reassures Immigrants Ahead of Trump Presidency (abc7.com)

Dana Brown (PACEs Connection Staff) 1/11/171:21 PM

After a campaign in which now President-elect Donald Trump promised more aggressive deportations, Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell sought to reassure local immigrant communities that his agency plans to stick by its policy of not serving as immigration agents.

McDonnell is expected to address the subject of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration with the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. The board is also expected to announce plans to form a county office for immigrant affairs.

"I want to be very reassuring to all our communities, that we're a safe haven," McDonnell said. "We're there to be able to protect all of the communities throughout the county."
