Speakers from across the county — including Mary Grace Barrios, Maria Cibrian, Rafi Bezjan, Rosa Andresen, Carmen Roberts, Anna Lopez, Pearl Gonzales, Renee McClellan, and others — said last week's county counteroffer of \"$0\" was insulting and left caregivers unable to pay rent, buy groceries or afford medications. \"0 doesn't cover rent. 0 doesn't cover groceries,\" speaker Rosa Andresen said during public comment. Carmen Roberts told the supervisors, \"For every $1 in caregiver wages, the county only pays 18¢. The rest is covered by the state and federal government... So when you offer us nothing, you're not saving the county's money. You're making a choice to turn your back on caregivers.\"

Many speakers thanked Supervisor Holly Mitchell for publicly acknowledging caregivers' contributions in a prior budget hearing, and urged the full board to match that recognition with a binding contract. SEIU members pressed for a meaningful wage increase and expressed frustration that caregivers have been working without a contract for months. \"We are LA County's largest low‑wage workforce. You have the power to change that,\" Carlos Lopez said.

Supervisor comments during the meeting acknowledged the public testimony; the transcripts show the board did not take an immediate vote on a contract during this agenda item. The remarks were recorded during the general public comment period on bargaining/closed session items addressing labor negotiations.

The speakers repeatedly requested concrete action: prioritize IHSS in bargaining, develop a contract with raises that help workers \"get by a little easier,\" and stop offering $0 as a counterproposal. Several speakers said they would continue to organize and attend future meetings until a contract is reached.","Around 30 SEIU 2015 home‑care providers addressed the Board during public comment, calling the county's $0 wage counterproposal insulting and demanding a contract with meaningful raises and long‑term protections for caregivers.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179272,"Board asks county counsel to explore legal remedies after videos of masked federal agents detaining residents",1197,3987260,5185000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131422-895a0049933823214cdea791e85ec9d1&start=3987&end=5185","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131422-895a0049933823214cdea791e85ec9d1/thumbnail_3987260.jpg","/articles/6179272/Los-Angeles-County/California/Board-asks-county-counsel-to-explore-legal-remedies-after-videos-of-masked-federal-agents-detaining-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179272-3eb05e7416ac12d9be5dc0f241fcb342/orig.mp4?Expires=1775379280&Signature=BSLh3BEaEo-Nvle35XCyaFyg11Gef-b8eo013DS3jaL2S-xQv3B~8~zbrrklwAS3hZeF6CxQLsI6PktBJUghAka4aYiaceP3Gg8NXmF4xe5diIO78idM-5L0SPzHGj~JHBic7DpYYSuys1A0xaJYHrXh11fTxznO-s0xXcuLJEXm99j5QQWp2Jh3nAuUrAAUdqyRJUHaee62W7hE1GE3idYWcay8z7Q~ukQ5fAxAHBvFxmixLDHEXYyW8ZFsBUU8mSZnvdvT8Kju3kGtpNOOIBhy02YICP16m0bN2XFhzxzPeR67sDg2R2N-PZo3dHDyqtE9HYj0Ip-khotrC5p9gA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to direct county counsel to explore legal remedies to protect residents from immigration‑enforcement tactics that supervisors said include officers operating in civilian clothing, failing to display badges and detaining people without apparent warrants.

Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, who authored the motion with Supervisor Lindsay Horvath, cited multiple reports and videos of federal agents detaining people at car washes, Home Depot parking lots and other public places. \"The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures,\" Solis said. \"When law enforcement officers stop and question or detain someone without reasonable suspicion, or when they make an arrest without probable cause, they are indeed violating that person's constitutional and civil rights.\"

Supervisor Horvath described residents as \"scared\" and said the tactics are \"racially motivated harassment, intimidation, and kidnappings directed towards hardworking people of color.\" Supervisor Holly Mitchell and other board members described graphic videos of people being thrown to the ground and questioned how to protect residents and hold federal actors accountable.

The board asked county counsel to immediately examine all legal remedies available to the county to prevent unconstitutional searches, seizures and detentions, and to consider injunctive relief and other court actions in coordination with cities and community partners. The motion also directs coordination with local law enforcement and community partners to improve identification and communication protocols during enforcement actions.

Public commenters and immigrant‑rights groups urged swift action. Mary Ellen Cody of the Rapid Response Network described incidents in South Whittier and said a U.S. citizen was briefly detained and then returned to the car wash, an incident she presented as an example of unlawful detention. Community groups stressed the need for coordinated legal responses and for county leadership to pursue remedies quickly.

The board voted 5-0 to approve the motion and instructed county counsel to report back on possible legal steps and options.","The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion directing county counsel to examine legal options to protect residents’ civil and constitutional rights after reports and videos showed federal agents detaining people without visible identification or warrants.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179278,"Board backs expansion of Represent LA; bifurcated vote asks CEO to pursue CFCI funding",293,2738480,3032000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131422-895a0049933823214cdea791e85ec9d1&start=2738&end=3032","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131422-895a0049933823214cdea791e85ec9d1/thumbnail_2738480.jpg","/articles/6179278/Los-Angeles-County/California/Board-backs-expansion-of-Represent-LA-bifurcated-vote-asks-CEO-to-pursue-CFCI-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179278-38c72a5f7b1371967881372f3e04c8d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1775379280&Signature=mjoaaRgMELuh67GNDZnn1-a4cHy-zQd4YjNmh~QfKte5q~sReuprHNXwibYMWWzpTKPV6YtSqqaU9egATHgYJvZa1rUSsiWKbbQO0nh-MlO1AZTJR4f9wVL9Jf5V0JsEbOxL1eo-dk8Gm3~LQQ-lhGScgtfMXsEBZautg9r2Ic5isJRYvE9DYI3ifN1OHhI07Vxh7sXAe7SUkk3x9NfK5nnTVe7o7ovfMiHPmY~0gletbrTCK~AqrwFrd0Avogxxn1Kbkr0Cugr8UYZlCvDuCNCLNx05oRFgpONCrLKd~7IJl1jC~ZCUmY-j6rDFJRjiW9d56JXSbT5KWnXNzmbqaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a motion to expand Represent LA, a county‑supported immigration legal defense effort, and asked the county CEO and Office of Immigrant Affairs to pursue funding and partnerships to sustain and scale the program.

The board bifurcated the item at the request of Supervisor Holly Mitchell to allow the body to vote first on directives 1–5 and then on a separate unnumbered directive regarding support for an OIA application to CFCI funds. The first portion passed 5-0; the final directive passed 4-0 with Supervisor Mitchell recorded as abstaining.

Supervisor Janice Hahn, the motion's author, said the program needs immediate resources: \"We have to have a very robust fund where we can really, in the moment, get some legal representation to these folks who are being denied their due process,\" she said. Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, co‑author, noted Represent LA's recent demand: federal data showed thousands of detentions in the region and she described the program as a \"lifeline.\" Public commenters urged a multiyear commitment; community organizations asked for at least $6 million annually to stabilize legal providers.

County staff briefed the board on the CFCI process and existing allocations. The chief executive's office said the board had approved a year‑4 spending plan that allocated roughly $141 million and an additional $28.2 million to the Public Defender, Alternate Public Defender, and veterans services, leaving about $50 million in one‑time funds available for reallocation; the CFCI advisory committee will accept applications and make recommendations in July with written recommendations due to the CEO by July 31 for supplemental budget consideration.

Supporters of the motion included legal services providers and immigrant advocacy groups. Laura Moreno of the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center and Hazel Rios with Centro CSO urged the board to approve the motion and move funding quickly. Several speakers representing immigrant‑service organizations and regional coalitions requested multi‑year funding and broader outreach to suburban and LGBTQ community centers.

Supervisor Mitchell said she supported the expansion but asked that the CFCI advisory process be respected, and asked to bifurcate the motion so she could abstain on the final unnumbered directive; that abstention was recorded when the board voted on the final part. The board directed the CEO to report back during the supplemental budget process with recommendations on funding options and implementation steps.

Votes: directives 1–5 approved 5-0; final unnumbered directive approved 4-0 with one abstention (Mitchell).

The motion instructs the Office of Immigrant Affairs to explore CFCI and other funding, coordinate with providers and community partners, and return with a plan for using one‑time and ongoing resources to expand Represent LA.","The Board approved measures to support expansion of Represent LA legal defense services for immigrants and asked the Office of Immigrant Affairs to pursue multiple funding avenues, including the CareFirst Community Investment (CFCI) process; the board bifurcated the item and the final unnumbered directive passed with one abstention.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":78,"_43":113,"_45":113,"_47":114,"_49":115,"_51":116,"_53":117,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":118,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":119,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179282,"Board directs county agencies to create \"Know Your Rights\" workshops for youth after protests",3172244,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131422-895a0049933823214cdea791e85ec9d1&start=3172&end=3172","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131422-895a0049933823214cdea791e85ec9d1/thumbnail_3172244.jpg","/articles/6179282/Los-Angeles-County/California/Board-directs-county-agencies-to-create-Know-Your-Rights-workshops-for-youth-after-protests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179282-bc3ada7d10890c0b09567cce9e800243/orig.mp4?Expires=1775379280&Signature=Ybw3HWAn07JV97-uIInIaiqOldpExrgQdL2rjj4u8Ce2vejJxokL0v-axFqTWL3vcSEyjzi~QgFQQAJBg2vjh3XlWJIiK-h63O71Mar-zu60kQ7--juFeHyQGVk~3iw0UkM-EBcpCvjgyGW7C0SZsSBGJVcJQSPWsRfrIEGkf430~vG8GKFhTP-37WLPqwXGOnlX5wz7vOGYIsvgqQGr2F1BsjTxM1ZrH~Cu6IcvuKaeIh9OWaNLif-9e4Iz024LRTVYTqTzpItvnIHpI1UzZenvweduyD8WKbQrIDAmIhialA31TPjPQVvPgs2W6gZ9C3DzqBpgqg2mIaOrd4UWPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisor Hilda L. Solis and Supervisor Janice Hahn persuaded the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday to direct county agencies to develop and distribute \"Know Your Rights\" materials and workshops for youth participating in protests and other civic actions.

The board unanimously approved the measure, which asks the Department of Youth Development to work with the Office of the Public Defender, the Alternate Public Defender and other county and community partners to produce youth-tailored legal information, trauma‑informed safety guidance and distribution plans. The motion also asked the departments to consult the Youth Commission and the Human Rights Commission and to report back with a plan, including who will print and distribute cards and materials.

The action comes after weeks of demonstrations and several incidents around immigration enforcement where young people and other protesters confronted law enforcement. \"We must ensure [youth] feel empowered to use their voice and exert their First Amendment right to protest in a peaceful and impactful manner,\" Supervisor Solis said during the meeting. Supervisor Hahn, the motion's co‑author, told colleagues the county should not repeat past miscommunications about printing and distribution: \"I think it needs to be clear who's in charge of printing and distributing the materials once they're created, and the money should be budgeted for that purpose.\"

Representatives from the Public Defender's and Alternate Public Defender's offices briefed the board on an earlier effort to provide legal support at campus protests, highlighting three lessons: build communications capacity with teams on the ground, centralize interdepartmental coordination so agencies share consistent information, and create dedicated contact channels (phone/email) backed by a rapid response team. A county staff member summarized that those efforts helped students \"protest more confidently\" and avoid legal pitfalls.

Supporters from community groups and youth organizations called the motion timely. Frederick Sykes, a resident of West Covina, said the county should teach civic participation to young people: \"Our young residents need to be involved in politics, and that can happen even before they can vote.\" Tiara Brown of God's Pantry told the board the workshops would help youth \"engage in civic action without fear of being swept into the juvenile legal system.\"

The motion directs specified departments to report back in time for the supplemental budget process with recommended materials, a distribution plan, printing responsibilities, translation and anticipated costs. Supervisors emphasized use of existing community materials where possible to avoid duplication and urged multi‑language distribution and coordination with Metro and school districts to make printed cards available on transit and at schools.

The board voted 5-0 to approve the motion.","The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion directing county departments to develop youth-focused \"Know Your Rights\" materials and workshops after recent immigration enforcement protests; report back to the board was requested with lessons learned and distribution plans.","actionData","errors"]
