The Los Angeles City Council Wednesday advanced a proposal to waive towing and impound fees for vehicles belonging to people detained by federal immigration enforcement agencies.

City staff will also draft an initiative allowing family members, friends or neighbors to retrieve impounded vehicles at no cost on behalf of a person in federal custody.
