The L.A. Justice Fund, a city- and county-backed program launched after President Trump took office, pays for attorneys for individuals and families who are detained or at risk for deportation. But budget leaders have declined to put new money toward it.
Activists and attorneys urged city officials to renew funding for the L.A. Justice Fund.
So far, city and county officials have resisted renewing the L.A. Justice Fund money in the upcoming budget year, as officials evaluate the program and its effectiveness. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said last month that there is enough city money in the L.A. Justice Fund to last until October. The goal, he said, was for the fund to raise $10 million, but private groups haven’t raised their share. He also questioned how much each case is costing the Justice Fund compared with similar programs.
