LAPD distributes booklets and QR code explaining nonparticipation in civil immigration enforcement
Summary
Los Angeles Police Department outreach events included informational booklets and a QR code clarifying that the LAPD does not participate in civil immigration enforcement, officials said, intended to reduce fear and correct false narratives.
The Los Angeles Police Department distributed booklets and a QR code at community outreach events explaining departmental policy on immigration enforcement and how officers interact with immigration matters.
"LAPD's policy when it comes to immigration, so people are clear, we don't participate in civil immigration enforcement," a department speaker said. The materials and in‑person outreach were framed as opportunities to explain the role of law enforcement "instead of listening to the false narratives that keep getting passed."
LAPD officials described these interactions as informal community conversations rather than enforcement contacts; they emphasized the events were intended to make residents comfortable approaching officers and to explain the department's limits on immigration enforcement.
The department said the materials can also be downloaded via a QR code provided at events. The transcript did not provide further detail on the booklet's content, distribution numbers, or any legal citations about the department's policy.
