Daniel Sosa, who identified himself during his minute at the podium, criticized councilmembers who voted against an unspecified overtime funding measure he described as authorizing police overtime. He said the funding had been used to “consistently violate First Amendment rights” against protesters and journalists, and he called the council and mayor to support demonstrators opposing ICE enforcement rather than law enforcement actions he described as \"fascism.\"

Another speaker who identified themself as Taylor said they had taken part in ongoing demonstrations outside federal immigration detention sites and described witnessing what they characterized as aggressive enforcement and arrests at McArthur Park. Taylor said they did not feel safe and called the conduct “fascism.”

During the comment period an individual identified as Mr. Cándida repeatedly interrupted the meeting and was issued warnings by the presiding officer; presiding staff then warned that further disruption could lead to removal. The council closed public comment after the allotted time.

These remarks were part of a broader set of public comments that also included praise for local cleanup and neighborhood safety efforts. The comments reflected community concern about policing practices at protests and the city’s treatment of demonstrators; no council action was taken on the matters raised during the public‑comment period at that meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting SAP - 9/5/25","oneSentenceSummary","During public comment at the Sept. 5 Los Angeles City Council meeting, speakers accused the city of using police overtime to suppress protests related to ICE and described arrests and unsafe conditions at demonstrations.","taxTitle","Spanish, Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",80599,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6467838,"Council confirms cannabis commission nominee, honors Shriners auditorium and marks service-dog and family-service centennials",128,5264000,5392000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5784174-89c9ca71b24df3f7877a3d5ebaaf319d&start=5264&end=5392","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5784174-89c9ca71b24df3f7877a3d5ebaaf319d/thumbnail_5264000.jpg","/articles/6467838/California/Council-confirms-cannabis-commission-nominee-honors-Shriners-auditorium-and-marks-service-dog-and-family-service-centennials","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467838-7b1783436c4189d786ebed8877696b37/orig.mp4?Expires=1771045568&Signature=Vp-G~Du-2aZL~YLNqLTNaaEKKvPd2TQZSjtIhkOvIMI5~-Kzw6m5e9qf-2Fwc4Y22zDClBMT7or8U-xzrnPmb-Mg0Ec6mbPDNsz4TRxjEvz30zKFmSjHzGninDm6VoCFc~mZD7apwuwqyO371Vms4vz7Ep51tC03ssFnw1vmHVmE1DtXq0gCOOggfNckAYB4T2sKaiexOrLSUPu3~d6h5UUa9D8yusB7WEp4h~yfj3Gi2vObL0xAl07yoFOf0xeu9PC1xYR9vpiNj7CgzpUmcfq-u0d93VjVafMBrTcHs2I5RmUvjbzbceNv1h4yvpQErYrEf00RYdApcwPQHVUXiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Council on Sept. 5 confirmed a mayoral nominee to a city commission and held multiple ceremonial recognitions, including a centennial celebration for the Shriners Auditorium, a proclamation for National Service Dog Month and a 100th‑anniversary recognition for El Nido family centers.

Council action and votes: Councilmembers approved the appointment of a nominee to a cannabis-related commission by a recorded 10‑0 vote. Earlier in the meeting the council also approved the minutes from its Sept. 3 meeting by voice vote. No ordinance or regulatory change was taken at this session.

Council ceremonial recognitions led the meeting’s substantive agenda. Councilmember Price introduced representatives of the Shriners organization and presented a proclamation marking the auditorium’s 100th anniversary, praising the facility’s history as a cultural venue and the Shriners’ charitable work, including hospital and community programs. A Shriners representative described ongoing preservation work and plans to keep the auditorium active during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Councilmember John Lee opened the session’s recognition of National Service Dog Month with guests from Guide Dogs of America and other service‑dog organizations. A service‑dog recipient described waiting nearly four years for a match and how the dog, Nico, changed her independence and day‑to‑day life; she urged the public to respect working dogs and to follow the minimal legal inquiries staff and business employees may ask — whether a dog is required because of a disability and what tasks the dog performs.

Councilmember Mónica Rodríguez introduced El Nido family centers’ centennial recognition. El Nido staff described the organization’s origin in 1925 and summarized current programming focused on economic mobility, education and family wellbeing; the group said it serves thousands of Angelenos across multiple neighborhoods.

No new budget appropriations or regulatory items were adopted during the ceremonial presentations. The confirmed commission nominee will be referred and processed according to standard appointment procedures, and the minutes approval completes standard procedural business.
