(Reuters) -Los Angeles County moved a step closer on Tuesday to enacting an eviction moratorium that would protect renters who have been financially harmed by President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in a 4-1 vote declared an emergency in response to federal immigration raids, a move usually reserved for natural disasters or other conditions beyond the control of local officials. The vote allows Los Angeles County to impose an eviction moratorium that would protect renters from eviction for failing to pay rent if they can prove they have been financially impacted by the immigration raids.
