Immigration & Border
Robert G. Luna says the sheriff’s department does not participate in civil immigration enforcement, does not ask about immigration status during service calls, and will protect residents regardless of legal status. He has also said the department would not enforce civil immigration laws amid federal deportation efforts, while still assisting other law-enforcement agencies when appropriate.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
He stated that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department would not cooperate with attempts to prosecute people seeking abortion care if FDA approval of mifepristone were overturned. That reflects support for protecting abortion access from law-enforcement interference.
Public Safety & Guns
Robert G. Luna has said the status quo on guns is not working and that he wants to change it because of gun violence. He has also said he does not want to take guns away from legal gun owners and wants a lawful path for gun ownership and concealed-carry permitting.
