They say they want the fund set up before Donald Trump becomes president. https://DiasporaEngager.com/extPage/ImmigrantIntegration Los Angeles and other cities are bracing for a crackdown on illegal immigration once Trump takes office next month. Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer told the Los Angeles Times: "The fund will ensure that there is 'more fairness and more effectiveness in the immigration system.' He cited statistics showing that immigrants who have representation have a better chance at succeeding in court." The plan calls for half the money to come from public funds and about half from private foundations. Details weren't released on how the funds would be allocated.
