The Los Angeles City Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee rejected a proposal for a rent freeze, but advanced a series of eviction protections for people economically affected by the fires. The motion now heads to the full council.

A Los Angeles City Council committee rejected a proposed one-year rent freeze but approved moving forward with some tenants' protections for residents who lost their homes or jobs in the recent wildfires.

The proposals come as the federal government under President Trump launches raids to deport unauthorized immigrants.

The L.A. City Council is proposing more immigrant protections, even in the face of President Trump's threats to withhold funds from "sanctuary cities."
