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.

Don’t quite understand why she is not arrested. She is violating Federal law and trying to palm it off a righteous act.
This will continue until the administration starts arresting these leaders as soon as they open their mouths.
I have full knowledge that if I broke the law, I would be arrested. How do they get a pass?
No, they are not enforceable.
Immigration is federal jurisdiction only.
I’ll bet she loves Cuba’s healthcare system.
only response to that
is to double down
and say that the increased raids
are cuz of bass
She misses the point: sowing fear in your city is precisely the point. Make the illegals afraid they’ll be next may motivate self-deportation. It’s impossible we ever get rid of all of them; we need to incentivize as may as possible to leave voluntarily
Big Mouth Bass taking the bait.
Does one suppose this opposition to ICE enforcement of America’s immigration laws is a Marxist objective to transform America’s Constitutional government?
2020 - Cuba spells trouble for Bass’s VP hopes
Bass’s record on Cuba was shunted into the spotlight after The Atlantic reported about her youthful trips to the island with a left-wing group, the Venceremos Brigade, primarily in the 1970s.

When does the National Guard and Tom Homan show up tonight? It’s 6”03pm local time in LA right now.
Aiding and abetting...arrest it.
Seems to me there is a simple answer. Don’t play their game. Of they get in the way arrest them with as little fanfare as possible. At the same time, take a revoke federal funding to LA and the state of California. If it takes a rescission bill get it quietly through the house ir have the senate attach it to the BBB and send it back to the house. Senate it bitching there are too few cuts and this is likely a cut that would not affect passage in the house of done quietly. Then call it a day.
Its kind of like what we should do with china. Turn of the spigot of trading china stocks on american exchanges. That dries them up and would certainly get their attention has their cash inflow falls to zero.

The sooner the better.
Same difference. I always have to decide to call them democrats, liberals, leftists, communists.
If Bass and News um won’t do their job, Trump will.
