LA County to vote on immigration-raids emergency
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025 on declaring a local state of emergency to aid residents financially harmed by ongoing federal immigration raids, enabling rent relief and state-funded legal services. The measure, advanced 4–1 last week over Supervisor Kathryn Barger’s objections, could be a first step toward an eviction moratorium (requiring separate action) and would launch an online rent‑aid portal within two months.
