Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass faced backlash on social media Friday, including from members of the Trump administration, for pushing back on Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting illegal immigrants in her city.

"This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement actions in multiple locations in Los Angeles," Bass said in a statement on Friday.

"As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place. These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city. My Office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations. We will not stand for this."

The mayor’s statement, which garnered over two million impressions on X, drew immediate pushback from conservatives, with many pointing out criticisms of her leadership, preparedness, and response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year that killed 30 people.

"You have no say in this at all," White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller posted on X. "Federal law is supreme and federal law will be enforced."

"It’s amazing the number of elected officials who don’t grasp the basics of federalism, or federal sovereignty over immigration issues, or the First Amendment," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice Harmeet Dhillon posted on X.

From what I've read, Bass is a real big fan of Cuba.

Of course she made this statement during her latest visit to West Africa.

I thought NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. Immigrants here ILLEGALLY are criminals. AND they are being paid w our tax dollars by dems.

[Singermom]

Illegals are being paid for their votes by dems w tax dollars.

Arrest this communist ghettopotumus.....spit.

[Williams]

Democrats are just bad and dangerous people. Totally irresponsible.

[SuperLuminal]

In any civilized town or city, this evil pig would have been cashiered over her incompetence related to the fires and aftermath...

Only a hard-boiled communist could spend all their time whining about the feds getting criminals (all migrant invaders) out of the country while ignoring 15,000 families who have been burned out of their homes by the Newsome-Bass fire disaster...

[shanover]

California is colonized. To de-colonize it will be very difficult but doable. The Sacramento and LA regimes are political crime syndicates. The videos are disturbing of the scum inserection. The Marines need to roll down PCH like ‘92.

[ckilmer]

the california assembly is going to put this to the test.

they are quickly going to pass a lot of laws that completely handcuff ICE.

are those state laws enforceable?

this is actually great politics for the democrats in california. they’re are just locking in the loyalties of the mexicans there for generations.

[SuperLuminal]

Democrats Communists are just bad and dangerous people.

Summer will be interesting.

Bass is just another typical Me-First Democrat grabbing all she can
get for herself from the shallow politics they pathetically cling to.

[Sarah Barracuda]

What do you expect of Bass the ass she went to Ghana and watched LA burn to the damn ground she could have cared less

[Liz]

Whining that she’s “Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, she sucked up big time.........said she was deeply angered and that her pathetic Office is in close coordination with immigrant rights types who laughingly said, “We will not stand for this.”

Pushback from over two million on X, pointed out criticisms of her leadership, preparedness, and response to the devastating LA wildfires of utter destruction that killed 30 people.......while Bass was on a tax paid junket to Africa.

“You have no say in this at all,” she was told.

[SpaceBar]

It’s basically just PR lip service to portray herself as ‘standing up to da man’, when in fact she knows if she actually hinders federal law enforcement she could end up in the hooskow also.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

“Summer will be interesting.”

Yep. And it’s going to get worse. A lot worse.

I hope the Trump administration is up to the task.

Bass Ackwards

Mayor of Lost Angeles

FTA-——”They’re Illegals,” Deputy Asst to the President Sebastian Gorka posted on X. “Not ‘immigrants.’ “One just tried to burn Americans alive in Boulder. “

“If you’re aiding and abetting them you’re a criminal too. Bass. Are you ready to be treated as a criminal? Because we are ready to treat you as one if you commit a crime.”

FTA-——”Can’t get permits for people to rebuild their homes after a wildfire, but she’s focused like a laser beam on stopping immigration enforcement,” Red State writer Bonchie posted on X.

The Purple Orcs of SEIU Are Back on the March Using ICE and Deportation as Their Latest Strategy

June 7, 2025 | Sundance 

Anyone who was following politics in 2007 and 2008 knows exactly what role the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) played in supporting candidate Barack Obama.

As Obama and Hillary Clinton battled for control of the Democrat apparatus, Barack made a deal with SEIU President Andy Stern. If the purple orcs would activate -violently if needed- on Obama’s behalf, when he became President Obama would remove the healthcare liability from the union retirement by creating nationalized healthcare, Obamacare.

Andy Stern agreed to the deal, marshalled his orcs and that was the army the Chicago machine used to defeat the Clinton machine. It was a bloody battle, and in the aftermath the PUMAs were born (Public Unity My Ass). SEIU President Stern became the #1 White House visitor to see Obama in 2009 and 2010, and the rest as they say is history.

The Chicago machine behind Obama is deeply enmeshed with classic communist objectives. In descending level of ideological severity, you will note: SEIU, AFSCME, AFL-CIO and the UFCW. All of these labor organization are open borders activists, radical leftists with severe ideological leadership who know how to weaponize their membership to act as ‘shock troops’ within the U.S. political system.

That’s the background for the SEIU to align with La Raza and attack the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials on Los Angeles yesterday and today.

With Democrats out of power in DC all the foot soldiers have once again been activated to achieve political objectives.  ICE is the convenient target, but the larger objective is to create street level crisis similar to the BLM riots in 2020 and get back into power.  Violence is once again accepted in order to achieve their political goals.  The media runs cover for the violence, continually downplaying it – even as it gets worse.

CALIFORNIA – Service Employees International Union California President David Huerta was injured and detained while documenting an immigration enforcement raid in downtown Los Angeles Friday, labor union officials said — prompting protests and calls for his release.

Huerta, 58, was treated at a hospital and then transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown L.A., where he remained in custody as of 5:30 p.m., according to a spokesperson for the labor union. Protesters spray-painted the center with messages such as “F— ICE,” “Burn Prisons” and “Abolish ICE.”

“What happened to me is not about me; This is about something much bigger,” he said in a statement from the hospital. “This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice that’s happening. Hard-working people, and members of our family and our community, are being treated like criminals. We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice.” (READ MORE)

This is history rhyming repeatedly.  These are the same communist foot soldiers behind Occupy Wall Street in 2012.  These are the same foot soldiers who attacked Donald Trump supporters in 2016 (San Jose).  These are the same foot soldiers behind the Minnesota riots in 2020. A mixture of Black Bloc radicals, Anarchists, ANTIFA, and radical race-based activist groups like BLM, La Raza and CAIR.  The organization and funding comes from the labor unions atop them.
