Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass lifted the nighttime curfew she imposed last week on the city’s downtown area to prevent crime prompted by protests, which began in the wake of raids on undocumented migrants in the city.
Bass said arrests and confrontations with the police had declined since this past weekend’s demonstrations. In a statement, Bass said the seven-day curfew was a success in helping ease tensions, protect stores, restaurant and residents from “bad actors who do not care about the immigrant community.”
“My priority will continue to be ensuring safety, stability and support in the downtown neighborhoods,” Bass said, adding that she was prepared to reissue a curfew if she felt one was needed.
Since June 6, the city of Los Angeles has been in the spotlight nationwide after a series of militarized raids by federal immigration authorities prompted protests that led the Trump administration to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines to the region.
Many were not pleased with Trump’s decision, and neither state nor local authorities requested this federal aid.
Many California officials blamed Trump’s deployment as the catalyst for protest escalations, while the White House maintains that the situation was already out of control.
"It's an escalation that didn't have to happen. Why were there raids? We had been told that he was going to go after violent criminals. It wasn't a drug den. It was a Home Depot. It was places where people are working. So what was the point of doing this?" Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said.
California Governor Gavin Newsom argued that Trump “flamed the fires” of the situation.
On June 10, after four days of disruptions that at times led to violence, Bass initiated a nighttime curfew lasting from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., covering 503-square miles of the city where protests were active.
yep, that ass mayor didn’t care one whit about safety of security.
It was Trump that fixed the issue
She’s just as successful in fighting fires, I hear. I guess it depends on how you measure success.
More of a Democrat being able to tell the media that it is the end of the month when in reality it is the beginning and the media not questioning the Democrat’s pronouncement.
how much PROFIT has she made on insurance on the very
houses/properties SHE and the GOVERNOR burned down????
stupid people put stupid people in control, enjoy

Must we listen to the Lying Leftist “LA” crap this early in the morning.
The riots stopped, BECAUSE President Trump called in the National Guard.

You think she got in office without them voting her in? Moron
In other words, they are communist functionaries (One who holds an office or a trust or performs a particular function; an official) who are using their undeclared armies to sow chaos & destruction. Because chaos creates opportunities, and they live by, never let a good crisis go to waste.
They are pure evil who seek control, wealth, & power, and it is way past time that people start calling them what they really are.
Margaret Thatcher
Note to LA: Caruso saved his property, didn’t he...
Secure your elections before it’s too late.
