Protecting LA: City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto’s highlights her 2025 Accomplishments.
Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto looks back on a year marked by decisive action and strong advocacy for the city’s most vulnerable residents.
The year began with the January 7 wildfires, leading to reports of illegal rent hikes as families searched for housing. By mid-February, the City Attorney’s Office identified hundreds of inflated listings and sent more than 450 cease-and-desist letters, stopping price gouging without widespread litigation.
In June, federal ICE raids and the use of the National Guard prompted swift legal action. Feldstein Soto worked with the California Attorney General, filed lawsuits, and secured a temporary restraining order to halt what she described as unacceptable tactics used against local communities.
2025 also delivered major legislative wins. Three bills sponsored by her office were signed into law by Governor Newsom, strengthening protections for domestic violence survivors, closing loopholes that endangered teenage girls, and allowing cities to forgive ticket-related debt that often traps people in homelessness.
Child protection remained a top priority, especially along the Figueroa Street Corridor. Enforcement efforts there led to the rescue of more than 250 minors and dozens of felony cases against traffickers. The office also resolved long-standing safety issues, including securing the demolition of illegally built hillside homes in Laurel Canyon.
City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto’s 2025 review highlights a year of accountability, compassion, and results for Los Angeles.
