In Los Angeles County, non-citizens can also apply for civil service jobs.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors recently voted unanimously to remove the citizenship rule from the condition of applying for county civil service positions.
The agenda, co-initiated by supervisors Hilda Solis and Supervisors Sheila Quill last year, aims to allow non-citizens to apply for Los Angeles County officials.
“LA County is a community of immigrants from all over the world,” Sollis Supervisor Board Chair said in a statement. he emphasized.
However, for some positions that require only citizenship under federal and state laws, the citizenship rule will be maintained, and the citizenship rule will still apply when recruiting police personnel, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
As of 2018, approximately 880,000 non-citizens were living in Los Angeles County. Solis said she hopes to open new opportunities for immigrant residents who have been unable to challenge public officials because of her status.
