A woman from South Los Angeles has been federally charged for allegedly making false claims that she was kidnapped by immigration officials, the U.S. Department of Justice says. Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, 41, is charged in a federal criminal complaint with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officials.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Thursday that the law requires inmates be turned over to ICE when a federal judge issues a warrant, but the department also continues to follow 'sanctuary' policies and does not cooperate on civil immigration enforcement.
