>>sup. Hilda solis, chair: ple
low, welcome to our public
hearing meeting of the
los angeles county board of
supervisors today.
and it is tuesday, january 27,
2026.
please note that the supervisor
horvath will be absent from our
meeting today.
and we'll take note a quorum of
the board is present.
the acting chief executive
officer, county counsel, and
executive officer and sergeant
at of arms are here to assist
us.
before we begin -- welcome, good
morning.
colleagues, I want to hold a
movement silence today in honor
of alex prettie, shot by customs
enforcement officer in
minneapolis this weekend.
alex was 37 years old, and
intensive care unit nurse who
worked at minneapolis veterans
affair hospital.
he was described by his parents
as a kind-hearted soul who cared
deeply for his family and
friends.
someone who wanted to make a
difference in this world.
friends remember him as someone
who was always willing to help
others, a mentor who taught
kindness and patience to his
younger colleagues.
his loss leaves a huge void for
friends, families, and
colleagues and veterans who
relied on him every single day.
his murder at the hands of
federal agents is a
gut-wrenching consequence of the
injustices we're seeing every
day.
this incident cannot be ignored
or normalized.
the values that we have always
prided ourselves in are being
tested, we're all facing
tremendous pressure to protect
ourselves while standing up for
our friends, our families, and
the dignity of every human
being.
just two weeks ago I led a
moment of silence here with the
board for renee good, and other
victims we lost from aggressive
immigration enforcement in 2025,
at the start of 2026.
this moment of silence is not
just a moment of grief.
it is also a moment to reflect
on how we can work together to
speak out against the injustices
we see and fight for the country
and values that we all believe
in.
may we continue forward with
resolve and commitment to do
right by our communities.
00 stand and join me in a moment
of silence.
[moment of silence].
>> hilda solis, chair: thank
you.

dear god we come before you, we

the bible says do not be weary
in well doing for in due season
you will reap if you faint not.
give every leader endurance,
strength, courage.
I pray, god, that every leader,
even things that are going on in
their life, not even pertaining
to this, that you would do
miracles in those areas.
I thank you, you've given us
leaders for such a time as this.
and I pray that we will never
live our life with a have to
serve mentality but live every
single day with the get to
mindset.
we get to help the hurting, we
get to help those that are
broken.
the greatest of our city is
found in the scripture that says
he who gives to the poor lends
to god.
and he will repay.
I pray, god, the city of
los angeles will just not get
weary in well-doing, that we
rise up every day and do our
part.
we would entertain every single
person that comes into our path
as an angel unaware.
I thank you for this great

great business that will be
attended to, and I thank you
today we will walk out with
great victory in the middle of
great trauma in our world.

school history, and earning the
title of cif southern section
division 8 volleyball champions!
[applause]
not only is this the first time
the team has earned the cif
title, but it is also the first
time the team made it to the
finals.
during the finals artesia won in
a three-set sweep which means
they won three consecutive sets
against their opponent to seal
their victory.
and they were the only team to
claim a three-set sweep during
the finals.
that takes another round of
applause.
the team's captain was named the
cif division player of the year
where she led the entire
division with 21 kills, 2
blocks, and 2 aces.
all right!
and both isabella cruz and haley
robinson named to the all cif
team roster.
isabella led artesia with 37
assists, 5 aces and haley ended
the season with 17 kills.
the entire team played their
hearts out, and I want to
acknowledge their incredible
determination and commitment as
student athletes.
of course none of this would
have been possible without the
leader h coaching staff and the
supports of the school and the
district.
the coaches who are in their
first year of coaching at
artesia, wow, you have nowhere
else to go but keep going up.
are brothers who took over a
struggling volleyball program
and built a championship team.
head coach francisco serrano and
coaches jose and juan serrano
carefully polished, motivated
and supported each and every
player throughout the season.
congratulations are also in
order for head coach francisco
who was named the cif division 8
volleyball coach of the year,
congratulations.
[applause]

really great presentations for
me.

another the high schools in my
district.

girls sports really excel, it's
important to me.

each year korean american day
invites to us remember the 102
courageous korean men, women and
children who landed in hawaii on
january 13, 1903tion abouting
the first koreans to arrive in
america.
it also serves as a reminder of
the many incredible korean
americans who invested in our
country, county, and communities
in the 123 years since.
two million korean americans
call the u.s. Home.
and there are so many ways
korean americans make our nation
stronger.
they are entrepreneurs, and
impressive one-third of all
korean americans own their own
business.
they are innovators, korean
americans invented neck a teens,
touch screen technology,
innovated the lymphoma vaccine,
pioneered hiv/aids research,
designed the shelby mustang,
embarked on nasa space shuttle
misses and opened michelin star
restaurants.
they are competitors.
korean americans have made the
u.s. Proud as olympic gold
medalists in many sports
including diving and
snowboarding.
they are artists from tv to
movies to music korean americans
bring joy and talent to the
stage and screen.
they are leaders, serving in the
military, and at all levels of
our government.
99% of korean american voters
planned to participate in the
last election.
think are a force for good in
all of our communities.
allowing them to appreciate and
forge a path of their own.
they are incredible leaders
doing that work each and every
day.
I would recognize the deputy
consul general representing the
consulate of republic of korea
in los angeles, mr. T.c. Kim
president of the korean american
foundation of glendale, and
mr. Steve park, president of the
korean american federation of
north los angeles.
thank you for support of
residents.
we got to hear incredible music
before the board meeting which
does show that generations are
remembering the roots of the
korean culture.
now with that I'd like to turn
it over to deputy consul general
cho and mr. Kim.
let's give them a round of
applause.
[applause]
>> in-person speaker: good
morning, thank you, it is an
honor to be here today in this
wonderful celebration of korean
american day.
thank you very much to l.a.
county, the board of
supervisors, and supervisor
barger for hosting us.
as well as to our performers.
123 years ago the first koreans
arrives on the shores of
america.
millions of korean americans
generation after generation have
been pursuing the american dream
with a very korean spirit.
a spirit of hard work and can-do
spirit.
I'm very proud that in l.a. Soy
of the queen of angels, boasts
the largest korea town not only
in america but in the world.
so that's an incredible
achievement.
the best is yet to come.
I believe the korean american
community will grow from
strength to strength and
continue to make suggestions to
los angeles, to america, to act
as a bridge between korean
america and make amazing things
for the world.
thank you very much.
congratulations again.
>> in-person speaker: good
morning everyone.

time to remind us the importance
of committing ourselves to

countries, usa and south korea.

sacrifice, collaboration, and
contribution so we all can work
together.

we presented proclamations to
each and every one of you, and
so appreciate all that you bring
to los angeles county.
thank you.
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair:
thank you.
buenas dias, good morning.
I'm hilda solis chair of the
los angeles county board of
supervisors.
but I am most proud of being the
representatives for the first
district.
I'm happy that we have been
jointed by so many wonderful
people here today.
I have asked staff to list on
the screen there the vazquez
predomo versus noem e plaintiffs
support group, stakeholders
engaged in this particular case.
I'm important, first of all I
want to thank los angeles county
board of supervisors as well as
our county counsel for also
helping us work through this
process.
for months los angeles county
contends with the federal
government immigration
enforcement wreaking havoc
amongst many communities and
neighborhoods throughout
los angeles county.
other parts of the country.
families as you know have been
separated and our economy has
suffered.
yes it has suffered.
as people are eye frayed to go
to work, or visit businesses
where they pay be targeted.
this is still happening today.
indiscriminate arrest of
individuals because they look or
speak differently.
federal immigration enforcement
should be limited by our
constitutional right against
unlawful search and seizures and
racial profiling.
yet I.c.e. Has consistently
tested and violated these rights
here in los angeles county.
and across our country.
that's why last july I authored
a motion passed unanimously
directing county counsel to
explore legal remedies to
protect the constitutional
rights of los angeles county
residents.
this led the county to join as
an intervenor plaintiff in the
vazquez perdomo case.
this resulted in a federal
district judge's order
protecting county residents
against unlawful detention and
arrest.
although later the u.s. Supreme
court overturned the preliminary
injunction, there is ongoing
litigation by the litigants who
are some of whom are here
standing and also in the
audience and watching.
to secure a permanent injunction
protecting the legal rights of
members of l.a. County
communities.
the fight goes on.
it is needed now more than ever.
I want to personally thank the
human relations commission,
robin toma and his staff, the
aclu, public counsel, the
plaintiffs, many community-based
organizations civil rights
defenders, and others that have
been here.
here two weeks ago two latino
parks employees were allegedly
racially profiled by I.c.e.
right here at one of our own
public parks.
they were stopped and they were
questioned and they were asked
to declare if they were citizens
or not.
a similar incident happened to
an employee of the district
attorney's office.
with the deaths recently of
renee nicole good and alex
pretti, now more than ever we
must continue to fight to
preserve our country's values
and our democracy and the rule
of law.
that is why I am so proud and
grateful to those joining with
us and our community and our
country for hard work,
contributions to preserving the
civil rights of los angeles
county residents.
please join me in thanking all
of them this morning.
thank you.
[applause]
would you like to say something
briefly?
>> in-person speaker: thank you
for this recognition solis.
I'm director of the aclu of
southern california o behalf of
the plaintiffses I have the
honor of be aing sitting the
human rights award with deep
gratitude and humility.
this honor belongs to the braver
plaintiffs, five plaintiffs
(reading names).
they have been brave when
staying silent would have been
safer.
their great sacrifices for the
cause of justice and equality
have had a tremendous impact.
with their turning, protections
for communities across --
without their courage,
protections for communities
across the southland that came
from this case would not exist.
we also want to recognize our
organizational plaintiffs, the
l.a. Worker center network,
united farmworkers who continue
to work shoulder to shoulder
with impacted communities and
channel righteous anger and into
collective action.
when the full force of the
federal immigration descended on
southern california last june,
was shown through and indeed
what made the litigation
possible was a collective

why are the nursery apartments

why is the roland heights golf
course development frozen in
time.

mclaren hall was demolished
without notice.

some of us wanted to be present
to witness the demolition,
believing it might offer a
measure of closure.
instead we learned after the
fact.
I asked for an explanation and
apology from supervisor solis

amadotero, a student at loyola
law school making public
comment.
I submit this public comment on
behalf of the anti-trafficking
initiative, sjia practitioner
led evidence based and community
informed think tank at loyola.
we address human trafficking
related to major sporting events
in los angeles prepared by the
sji there collaboration with
arnold and porter llp.
the report finds there is
substantial rise in labor
trafficking surrounding sporting
events such as world cup and
olympics.
despite the risk of labor
trafficking there is increased
fear of sex trafficking that has
wrongly shaped our policy
response.
the report proposes six
strategies how l.a. County can
work with fee if a.
I don't have time to go over
them, but we ask that it is e
dwreejous the public has not
seen the report that fee if a
and l.a. County were required to
submit.
and they have yet to do so.
by releasing the report the
board of supervisors can assure
