Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) claimed that immigration raids conducted in Los Angeles on Friday are to blame for the rioting and looting that has occurred in the city.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Bass spoke about how “everything was peaceful” in Los Angeles and other cities and that “things began to be difficult on Friday” when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted raids.
Bass also suggested that the riots, looting, and violence that have ensued were “provoked by the White House,” and claimed that “maybe we are part of a national experiment to determine how far the federal government can go in” taking power.
“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. “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.”
Bass added: “This was provoked by the White House. The reason why, we don’t know. I posit that maybe we are part of a national experiment to determine how far the federal government can go in reaching in and taking over power from a governor, power from a local jurisdiction, and frankly leaving our city and our citizens, our residents in fear.”
As Breitbart News previously reported, more than 40 people were arrested on Friday as ICE agents carried out immigration raids and served several search warrants in the parking lot of a Home Depot, and at two Ambience Apparel office locations:

Hey, you caught me robbing your house, it’s your fault that I got mad, shot the place up and burned it to the ground!!!

That’s the ticket! Blame law enforcement for crime.
The National Guard aren't even carrying lethal weapons.
I don’t think anyone is buying the old commie’s narrative.
How come the biatch isn’t over there in Afrika taking care of her African negros?
“How come the biatch isn’t over there in Afrika taking care of her African negros?”
Yea right while her city has not water for it’s fire hydrants.
SHES A DEMOCRAT SO SHE LIES.
LIAR !!!
Funny. For years we’ve heard from the left ‘nobody can make you do anything you don’t want to do. Take control’. But not it’s the fault of ICE that people behave badly (putting this mildly).
Plus they were rioting before the National Guard got there.
Sounds like she’s copying those blaming the fbi for inciting Jan 6th protesters.
Strange.
This is akin to blaming a shoe retailer for leaving expensive sneakers out in the open.
EXCELLENT ANALOGY!
You’re so right B-ass. And piggin’ out makes you fat.
Ok, let’s burn, assault children, assault women, rob, sell drugs. Then if ice wants to round us up, the dems will protect us.
Sarcasm if you can’t tell.
Stuff you just can’t make up.
“She does not want to admit she’s a horrible mayor and can’t run a city”
She should go or the Olympic should leave for another city come 2028. They can’t coexist.
She bitches because ICE is doing the job they were hired to do, and what we voted for. Maybe the citizens of America that are tired of her B.S., should raid LA and destroy the rest of it because she chooses not to do her job.
Her first term as Mayor is up June 30, 2026. I wonder if she'll be primaried. And if she's not, the people who live in LA would be crazy to vote her back in, especially after letting so much of the city burn up last year.
When the first ten million are out, homicide levels will noticeably drop in the following year’s national crime statistics.
Illegals are encouraged by democrats who are telling them to fight (and do the dirty work) of destroying our country while they try to distance themselves from it.
