EXCERPT:
McDONNELL: "Yeah, to — to the people who are not happy with the fact that ICE is in the — in the community doing what ICE does, you know, it's — I respect ICE for a being a fellow law enforcement agency. They have their mission, they have their — what they have to do. We don’t engage in that activity, but again, we can’t preclude them from doing that. They have every right to do that. I'd ask people in the community to trust the LAPD, that we’re not there for that purpose, and that if they have something they need us to be able to address, we are there for them. As far as the big picture of what can I recommend they do or not do, that's something — it's a federal issue and the federal authorities have the right to be able to do what they’re doing.”
