Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass and over 30 other mayors of nearby cities on Wednesday called for an end to federal immigration enforcement raids amid protests.
Protests in Los Angeles turned violent over the weekend after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted raids last week, resulting in detentions and deportations of illegal immigrants. The violent protests led to President Trump sending the National Guard and Marines to the city over California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) objection.
"A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of Los Angeles, and in all of the representatives behind me, in their cities, as well," Bass said during a press conference. "Things began to be difficult on Friday, when raids took place, and it's important that I begin there, because that is the cause of the problems that have happened in the city of Los Angeles and other cities."...
She said that they initially heard that "the administration wanted to go after violent felons, gang members, drug dealers. But when you raid Home Depot and workplaces, when you tear parents and children apart, and when you run armored caravans through our streets, you're not trying to keep anyone safe – you're trying to cause fear and panic."

That would be about 0.00001% of all Americans. A mandate!
And about 0.001 percent of all Mayors in America.
HOW MANY OF THOSE BUSINESSES ARE GONE FOR GOOD?
Well 77 million people say differently...And the number will rise...as businesses are destroyed and these illegals continue to be “loved”...total insanity.
Go tell that to the judges who issued the warrants.
what these mayors are saying is do as we say. we are in charge. they are all violating federal law.
Basically yes, but .....
Locate, arrest, deport—repeat.
Dems always double down
Adidas, Nike, T-Mobile, etc., will be fine.
Summer of Looting is just starting.
Educated women today
Often a bane
You mean indoctrinated women.
Yeah, I know...so did the pervert here
All of those mayors can ESAD as far as I’m concerned.
They are NOT raids....
How about a deal?
We end progressive income taxation, exemptions and tax credits by constitutional amendment ratified by October 1, 2025 and they stay? There will be one flat rate with no deductions except for business expenses.
All alien criminals have to stay within the existing city limits of the cities of the 30 mayors starting 24 hours after agreement.
I went to the article, but I could not find the list of the 30 mayors. I would like to know who they are.
And 500+ mayors call for more sweeps!
