  • Since taking office in 2022, Mayor Karen Bass has publicly opposed President Trump’s immigration raids for the first time.

  • She described the raids as instilling fear and condemned the federal spending of over $100 million on unrequested troops.

  • Bass convened a diverse coalition of religious, community, and business leaders to denounce the actions and call for ICE’s removal.

  • Despite harsh criticism from Trump’s administration, Bass’s firm response has earned growing local and political support.
  • I want to tell him to stop the raids. I want to tell him that this is a city of immigrants. I want to tell him that if you want to devastate the economy of the city of Los Angeles, then attack the immigrant population.
    Karen Bass, Mayor of Los Angeles, during a press conference about immigration raids.
