LOS ANGELES — The Department of Homeland Security or DHS in August announced that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass secured federal support for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights or CHIRLA, Clínica Romero, and the Central American Resource Center to assist immigrant families who recently arrived in Los Angeles in need of supportive services.

“The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, Clínica Romero, and the Central American Resource Center have been on the frontlines providing assistance to new immigrant arrivals in our city,” said Mayor Karen Bass. “I want to thank Secretary Mayorkas and the Department of Homeland Security for their partnership and for providing these organizations in the L.A. region with support to provide life-saving assistance.”
