The County of Los Angeles settled a civil rights action brought by the grandparents of two minors for the warrantless removal of the children from their home in violation of the family's constitutional rights to familial association free from unwarranted government interference.

Approval of the settlement by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is pending.
