LAPD officers don’t wear masks to make an arrest. Our @LASDHQ deputies don’t hide their badges to make an arrest. We need to hold ICE agents to the same standard. https://t.co/SIXvUNukYO

Rain or shine, it’s always a good day to welcome you to Los Angeles County, Mr. President. @MayorOfLA @POTUS https://t.co/BRDDQM5Re9

Our Board just voted unanimously to end LA County's COVID-19 emergency declaration on March 31st. We're in a very different place than we were three years ago — COVID is still with us, but it is no longer an emergency. It's time.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
We just had an extensive discussion about the potential mask mandate. I had questions for both Dr. Ferrer and Dr. Ghaly. I hope you watch the video so you get a full picture of the discussion, in context, but I have also summarized my position below: https://fb.watch/ew9Ai4_RPC
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
My preference is to stay aligned with the State and not reinstate a mask mandate in Los Angeles County. I am worried about losing the trust of a portion of the public who have been with us up to this point– but who don’t see the need for a masking mandate right now.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
They might have agreed with past mandates when our hospital system was under threat—but now that fewer people are getting serious cases of COVID, they don’t think a mandate is necessary.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
I worry that moving forward with a mask mandate now would threaten our ability to persuade the public to mask up if/when a more severe surge hits us. We should revisit this decision if the COVID disease severity changes or if our hospitals are at risk of being overcapacity.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
Dr. Ferrer was clear, however, that she has seen a leveling-off of the data and there is a potential for the numbers to improve significantly enough this week that she will not impose a mask mandate Friday.

Want to thank @SecretaryPete for paying a visit to our ports today to talk about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and its historic investments in zero emissions goods movement and port infrastructure. https://t.co/VqrCygXRQi
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
Our ports are the backbone of our economy. But for all the good they're responsible for, they have also historically caused some communities I represent to bear the burden of congestion and air pollution in the form of the Diesel Death Zone.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
We don't need to choose between clean air & good jobs – we can & should have both. We just need to invest in solutions. With $17B in funding for port infrastructure (incl. $52M for on-dock rail) the Infrastructure Law is one of those solutions. It'll be huge for our communities.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
With the Infrastructure Law, we can have ports that are more efficient while lifting environmental burdens off our communities. Cleaner air, safer streets, and more good-paying jobs are all on the horizon for LA County — a lot to look forward to. Thanks again @SecretaryPete. https://t.co/FbW3FYWhqf

It’s official: Bruce’s Beach has been returned to the descendants of Willa and Charles Bruce. https://t.co/N3jKr5Wezi
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
When I met with our County lawyers last year and said I wanted to return this property to the Bruce family, they said nothing like it had ever been done before. The work ahead of us would be unprecedented.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
Today, we are sending a message to every government in this nation confronted with this same challenge: this work is no longer unprecedented. We have set the precedent and it is the pursuit of justice.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
This morning I joined Governor @GavinNewsom in taking a tour of the Kaiser vaccination site at @CSULB which is serving local educators. Getting our kids back in school means teachers need to be at the front of the class for the vaccine. Thanks @CAgovernor! https://t.co/lKuPd7RYbm
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
Right now, unvaccinated people are required to wear masks indoors-- but they aren’t and they are spreading this virus to other unvaccinated people. Since we don't have a system to verify people’s vaccination status (maybe we should), now everyone has to mask up indoors.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
Let's be clear about what is actually at stake with Sheriff Villanueva refusing to enforce the @CountyofLA vaccine mandate. The number one killer of law enforcement officers nationwide this past year has been COVID.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
Instead of implementing LA County’s vaccine mandate (like every other department has done), he is putting both his deputies and the public they come face-to-face with every day at unnecessary risk. What we need from the Sheriff right now is leadership, for once.
@SupJaniceHahn - Janice Hahn
LA County DPH is issuing a new Health Order (looks like it will take effect Friday) allowing vaccinated people to take off their masks indoors at places that check for proof of vaccination. This puts us significantly closer to aligning with the State.
