GOPDD: This is the LAPD Chief of Police, Charlie Beck, That Says He Doesn’t Plan on Following the Deportation Laws

Nov 17, 2016 by Harry Hibbs

The LAPD has a policy known as Special Order 40 that bars officers from initiating contact with anyone for the sole purpose of determining if they are in the country illegally. It has been in place since 1979.
In recent years, the department has also stopped referring low-level arrestees to federal immigration authorities for possible deportation.
“We are not going to engage in law enforcement activities solely based on somebody’s immigration status,” explained police Chief Charlie Beck, according to the Los Angeles Times.
