4
competently to the information set forth in this Declaration.

2.
I have been employed with the Los Angeles Police Department ("LAPD") since
6

7
as the highest-ranking civilian in the LAPD.
8
3.
I have previously served as a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles where I prosecuted
9
numerous federal immigration and violent crime offenses. In addition, I served in senior policy
1o
positions at the United States Department of Justice and United States Department of Homeland
11
Security in both the Bush and Obama Administrations, and have extensive experience and
12
knowledge of federal law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement law. I also served as

As the Director of Constitutional Policing and Policy, I am aware of and familiar
17
with LAPD's various policies and practices including those regarding criminal immigration
18
enforcement, joint operations and task forces with federal law enforcement agencies such as U.S.
19
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the transfer of arrestees to other agencies, and the
20

21
am also familiar with local, state, and federal law involving the detention, arrest, transfer, and

sharing of information with the other law enforcement entities.

The mission of the LAPD is to protect and to serve all community members from

crime and disorder regardless of an individual's race, ethnicity, or civil immigration status. For
25
over forty years, the LAPD has implemented numerous policies and procedures to ensure that its
26
enforcement of the law is consistent with local, state, and federal restrictions and is done so in a
27
constitutional and just manner.
