Legal Challenge To Special Order 40
A group of Los Angeles residents are filing a lawsuit challenging the LAPD's landmark Special Order 40, which prohibits officers from inquiring about the immigration status of suspects. The lawsuit uses a section of the State's Health and Safety Code, written in 1972, that allows law enforcement agencies to notify the federal authorities when a suspected non-citizen is charged with a drug possession or trafficking violation. Larry talks about the challenge with proponents of the lawsuit and listener callers.
