LAPD Officers Required to Verify ICE Agent Identities Under New Policy

Jun 27, 2025 · Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell issued a new directive requiring LAPD officers responding to potential ICE immigration enforcement actions to request a supervisor, verify federal agent credentials, and document verification on bodycam footage. The policy was issued in response to ICE operations that were mischaracterized as kidnappings and includes instructions for officers to take enforcement action if they determine individuals are not legitimate federal officers.
