This week’s approved motions represent a decisive stand by Los Angeles County on federal practices that undermine the constitutional rights and dignity of our residents, and I am proud to have led these efforts. Our communities are living in fear of warrantless raids, racial profiling, and unlawful detentions by federal immigration agents that are tearing families apart and threatening the very fabric of our democracy. This is the moment. | Hilda Solis

In response to the powerful testimonies shared this week by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse on Capitol Hill, I hosted a press conference with Peace Over Violence @peaceovrviolnce and a coalition of survivor advocates to stand in solidarity with those demanding the full, public release of Epstein-related files.

I was honored to join the 55th National Chicano Moratorium Commemoration with community members and organizers to reflect on a movement rooted in the fight against injustice, many of which still exist today. The Moratorium was a defining moment in Latino activism. While war raged abroad, Chicano youth at home faced limited opportunities and deep disinvestment. Today, under the Trump administration, we continue to see cuts to safety-net programs like Medicaid, while immigration enforcement grows.

At today’s meeting, I led a moment of silence to honor all victims of violence connected to federal immigration enforcement. This included Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis last week; two people shot by federal agents during an ICE operation in Portland; and others, including Keith Porter and Silvero Villegas Gonzalez. | Hilda Solis

So great partnering @antirecidivismcoalition to host a large-scale voter registration and resource fair in East LA. The resource fair was specifically tailored to individuals and family members impacted by the justice system, including those with arrest and conviction histories. By helping our justice-impacted residents register to vote and utilize the services they need to navigate the system, we can ensure justice, redemption, and healing are at the forefront. | Hilda Solis

Today, the Board approved my motion supporting the Veteran Service Recognition Act, introduced by @repmarktakano, to protect immigrant veterans facing deportation or barriers to citizenship. The bill would create pathways to citizenship for noncitizen servicemembers, establish a review process for those in deportation proceedings, and allow certain deported veterans to return to the U.S. as legal residents. Those who have served our country should not live in fear of deportation. This motion rea

Despite a difficult year, Los Angeles County has shown up with compassion and courage. As we navigated increasingly damaging federal policies, significant budget obstacles, and ongoing recovery efforts, Angelenos continued to show up with a helping hand and a kind heart. In moments of crisis and uncertainty, the First District demonstrated an unwavering commitment to one another and to the values that bind us together. That is resilience. That is the heart of Los Angeles County. May the new year

My sister, Dr. Beatriz Solis, devoted her life to ensuring that communities too often left behind had a voice and the resources to thrive. She believed public spaces, like public health, should uplift people and bring them together. The Dr. Beatriz Solis Memorial Park reflects those values—offering a place for healing, wellness, and community connection. I am deeply honored to see her legacy live on in a space that will serve families for generations, and I thank the City of South Pasadena for h

Today, I had the honor of hosting the groundbreaking for Phase 1 of Puente Hills Regional Park, a project more than 30 years in the making. Growing up just miles from this site, I remember living in the shadow of the landfill, the smell, the trucks, and the lack of green space. This land was once a symbol of environmental injustice, and now we are reclaiming it. This park will transform 140 acres of what was once the largest active landfill west of the Mississippi into a space for recreation, ed
