The LAPD plans to adjust its policies this week to empower some of its newest officers, who are also DACA recipients, to possess their department-issued firearms while off duty. Federal law would generally prohibit such a person, who’s in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration policy, from possessing a gun or ammunition, but by LAPD making their off-hours part of the, “performance of their official duties or other law enforcement purpose,” these officers would be allowed to carry their guns while away from work, according to a new policy memo.
