"LAPD will not assist with mass deportations. Los Angeles is a city of immigrants and I know that immigrants are being disparaged right now," McDonnell told the council, striking a more decisive tone than he did in answering some of the same questions at a previous committee hearing. "My job is to protect everyone in Los Angeles and to build trust and that's what I plan to do."
After the new chief's private swearing in, Bass said she "was so appreciative of the way he handled everything. He heard everything people said. And to me, that is just emblematic of the type of chief he will be."

Accountability is basically the foundation of trust, and we are accountable to the rule of law and to the policies of this organization."
