(The New American)—The federal Justice Department (DOJ) has sued Los Angeles to overturn its unlawful sanctuary law and policies that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration law.
In the fourth such lawsuit, this one filed in the U.S. District Court for California’s Central District, the 21-page complaint alleges three violations of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause. The city has also violated federal laws that forbid state and local governments from refusing to share immigration information with federal authorities, the suit says.
The lawsuit details not only the effects of the city’s illegal sanctuary statute and policies, but also its attempted obstruction of federal agents who were in the city to enforce immigration laws.

Sanctuary Statute
The lawsuit alleges that the city’s sanctuary statute and pro-illegal-alien policies “obstruct the Federal Government’s enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe.”
The result of that obstruction since June 6 has “been lawlessness, rioting, looting, and vandalism,” which required President Trump to call in the National Guard and U.S. Marines to bring the city under control. The suit says that
Los Angeles has sought to do nothing short of prohibit[ing] ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] from operating within city limits, directly contrary to federal immigration law.
It elaborates that, in keeping with a state ordinance passed in 2017, the city police chief
restricted cooperation with federal immigration authorities and ordered that the LAPD “shall not: [i]nvestigate, interrogate, detain, or arrest a person for civil immigration purposes; or [i]nquire into an individual’s civil immigration status.”
The chief also required cops to seek approval from the police department’s immigration officer before turning over dangerous felons to federal authorities. The department refused to turn over illegals guilty of civil immigration violations, did not honor detainers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and required a federal warrant for a cop to arrest an illegal for federal immigration offense.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
