U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit challenging Los Angeles's ordinance that limits city cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Olguin ruled the ordinance regulates city agents rather than the federal government and rejected the administration's claim that it unlawfully obstructs immigration enforcement. Los Angeles hailed the decision as a victory for local control, preserving the city's ability to set limits on how municipal employees interact with federal immigration officials and creating a federal-court ruling that other cities may cite in similar disputes.
