however, the l.a. city council's unanimous vote to make los angeles an official sanctuary city sends a message getting the law on the books is about hardening support for the city's large immigrant population especially as the incoming trump administration proposes to carry out mass deportations. l.a. sanctuary city law was proposed early last year. it wasn't a direct response to trump's election win. however, having all city council members agree to forbid city employees and resources from being used in federal immigration enforcement certainly signals strong resistance to trump and his proposed policies. >> if we know anything about the person who just won the election, we know that their bark is their bark and their bark matches their bite. >> given the re-election of donald trump and consistent hate speech toward undocumented people i can't think of a more pressing issue than this one today. >> the law doesn't stop the federal government from coming into cities like l.a. to carry out deportations b

and so ending on the part of the country, l.a. being one of the most extreme places, there was definitely definitely. efforts by local, state and federal officials to continue that mass exodus of mexicans through scare tactics and deportations. so, for example, what is now ice or immigration services raided a la plessy in l.a., which a very popular mexican space for food hanging out. and so they descended upon this to round up an illegal individuals. they actually ended up capturing and documented chinese migrants more than anything else. and so despite the failure of these raids, it instilled the fear of two being targeted and being labeled as undesirable. so that's why also we still see people voluntarily leaving because of the fear that they were experiencing in their communities. and so right now we're going to watch a short clip of an individual that recounts their arrival of immigration officials to his family's home in idaho, of all places. who pena, who lived in rural idaho when sheriffs came to his house and took everybod

jonathan hunt is our chief correspondent in l.a.sn't just an election loss for l.a. county's progressive d.a. it was a 23-point wipe out that appears to be a complete rejection of what voters viewed as policies that promoted rather than prosecuted crime and criminals. nonetheless in the morning after email to his staff obtained by fox george gascon remained defiant writing in part i'm proud of the progress we've made. together we've made significant strides in creating a more just and equitable criminal justice system. over the last four years as violent crime rose, many of those staff who he addressed his email railed against his policies and say his election humiliation was fully deserved. >> he lost track of what his responsibility was and that was to keep people safe. and what he decided to do was to take an ideology, an unproven ideology and experiment on the county of los angeles. >> like the voters who had clearly had enough of gascon, john, the prosecutor, is looking forward to a different future under incoming d.a. nathan h

this as l.a.'s incoming d.a.g to make his own recommendation. >> i just wanted it to stop. >> reporter: criticizing those who have formed an opinion on the murders based on the netflix series which dramatizes eric and lyle's story and their claim they killed their parents after years of sexual abuse by their father. >> do you believe the brothers were sexually abused? >> again, i have not done the thorough review, and i'm not going to base my review, though i vnts haven't seen it, on some netflix documentary or limited series, as many people have. >> reporter: the original prosecutor on the trial telling "dateline" they should stay in prison. >> if jose menendez was sexually abusing eric, that didn't give eric the right to kill his mother. it didn't give lyle the right to kill his mother or his father under the law. >> reporter: but their supporters, including the outgoing d.a. arguing 35 years ago the public had a different view of sexual abuse. the incoming d.a. saying that's not a factor as he reviews the case

outgoing l.a. d.a.scon has requested the brothers be resentenced and make them eligible for parole after new evidence was presented including claims their father jose menendez raped former latin pop star roy as well as eric menendez to his cousin describing how his father sexually abused the brother. l.a. county deputy d.a. john lewin joined us earlier to tell us what this hearing will look like. >> you are going to see the cooperation, what is in essence of a joint effort by d.a. masquerading. defense attorney masquerading as a d.a. and see them jointly try to probably push the judge to make a decision today, i don't think it's going to happen. and it would not surprise me if the judge decides that he needs more time. >> todd:e case to republican los angeleual, mr. hoffman is sworn. in sentencing request scheduled to be considered on december 11th. that hearing begins 1:30 p.m. eastern time. lawrence, over to you. >> lawrence: thanks, todd, we'll be following it. as vice president kamala harris disappe

i don't know if the l.a.city ordnance will be much different than the state laws in place for seven years. also affirmed by the courts. so again, as a d.a. i will uphold the law. all the laws that are before the d.a. whether it's california, federal. and two constitutions, federal and state constitutions and see whether or not this l.a. ordinance does much different than a law on the books for seven years. >> john: would it be your intention to cooperate with federal authorities with deportations within the city of los angeles? >> right now again the actual state law allows local law enforcement officers with violent and serious felonies to cooperate with the ice officials. i don't know again if the l.a. city law will be much different. certainly with respect to the aspects of the law that allow that cooperation we'll enforce it. >> john: nathan, good of you to get up early in morning. good to meet you and we'll watch to see what changes. thank you, sir. >> thank you very much. >> if the threats are that seri

outgoing l.a. gascon recommended the case be resentenced which is a decision the next d.a. wants to review here to discuss is l.a. county deputy district attorney john lewin. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve, i just have to tell you in advance that obviously i'm appearing. i'm not a representative of george gascon or the d.a.'s office piece opinions are my own. i need to make sure i clarify that. >> steve: start at the beginning. today for attorneys for both these men now are going to ask the judge to reconsider the sentencing given the fact there was that you will evidence they abused the boys back in the 1980 they weren't able to present. that's what is he going to say to the judge, then what happens? >> today, the judge has already said the hearing will take place on december 11th. what have you is you have got an expublic defender who spent almost 30 years in the public defender's office came over schroder while ago took over re-sentencing. in essence defense attorneys on both sides.
