Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass signed a new executive directive Friday aimed at strengthening city protections for immigrant communities in the wake of what she described as “unlawful and chaotic” federal immigration raids across the region.
During a news conference, Bass called the directive necessary to help Los Angeles “understand how to protect itself from our federal government,” referencing a series of immigration enforcement actions that have occurred in the city over the past six weeks, including recent incidents in MacArthur Park and Ventura County.
“We saw MacArthur Park earlier this week, which I think, now after all assessments, is viewed as just a display of force,” Bass said. “Just to put the city in its place, to say, ‘We are the federal government, we can roll out troops whenever we choose.’”
The directive reinforces existing city policies, including Special Order 40 from the LAPD, which prohibits officers from initiating action solely to determine immigration status, and a 2024 ordinance that bans city resources from being used to support federal immigration enforcement.

Good thing LA doesn’t have a Fort Sumpter. Bass thinks she is P.T. Beauregard.
In other words, the communist mayor is protecting the criminals and not her legal citizens. Not a good look.
More like P.T. Barnum.....................
Yet, this bish demands more and more **Federal** money.
Chose - one or the other, you can’t (or should not) have both.
Bwahahaha! Well played.
Some students call it Fort Sumter; regardless the states lost their rights and remedies after the disaster at Appomattox.
Ms. Bass would have been on the wrong side of that arbitrament I'm sure.
“Bass thinks she is P.T. Beauregard”
That IS the point.
She’s seceding. She now claims the right to decide who is a citizen. As far as she’s concerned, any warm body who shows up in LA is now an “Angeleno”.
She has no such authority. A war was fought over “who is a citizen” - her family wasn’t included in 1860.
The States claimed the authority before that. Now she thinks she runs a city-state with all sovereign power.
We know how the Federal government of the Union reacted to the first instance of such a claim.
Time to repeat the reaction.
Sounds like she should be the mayor of Tijuana and not LA.
Confession of Conspiracy
Bookem Danno.
Isn’t using her office to harbor criminals some kind of RICO violation?
She’s going to hand out “cash” to criminal illegals because they’re hiding out and afraid to work so need money!
This is insanity - it’s not HER money!
Exactly. The Democrats never change.
“ Bass called the directive necessary to help Los Angeles “understand how to protect itself from our federal government,”
Fire a few shots at 29 Palms.
L
I’m thinking invite her to a nice brunch somewhere to “discuss compromise”.....and then do a surprise arrest.
“ to say, ‘We are the federal government, we can roll out troops whenever we choose.’” ….IN SECURING THE BORDERS OF THIS COUNTRY…
Arrest the biotch. This is insurrection.
Sounds like obstruction. Send her to Gitmo. That way she’s close to where her hero’s are buried.
SEEMS TO ME THAT IS OPENLY AIDING & ABETTING.
ARREST HER COMMUNIST/ CUBA LOVING BEHIND
SHE HAS NO BUSINESS BEING A MAYOR IN A CITY THAT IS SO FILLED WITH ILLEGALS.
