LOS ANGELES — In the era of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, even the simple act of buying pan dulce can set nerves on edge. So it was when Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stopped by an East LA bakery one morning only to find the doors shut and the people inside conspicuously ignoring her knocks on the window.
It wasn’t until she pressed the mayoral seal printed on her jacket against the glass that the owners welcomed her in.
She attributed their squeamishness to her official car, a hulking SUV with tinted windows — to many Angelenos, a symbol of surprise raids and menace.
“It makes me feel sad that now, in the city, people are afraid of certain cars,” Bass said in an interview Friday at El Chapulín, a Oaxacan restaurant in Pico-Union, a heavily Latino neighborhood in Los Angeles.
For the second time in just six months, Bass is the face of a city under siege. Her flat-footed response to the devastating January wildfires fed into a sense that Los Angeles was at the mercy of a hostile Mother Nature. Now, the nation’s second-largest city is bracing against a different antagonist: the federal government.
The combustible early stages of Trump’s immigration dragnet — the mobilization of federal forces, the raucous protests that led to burning Waymos and nights with downtown under curfew — has subsided. Roughly half of the National Guard, summoned by the president to Los Angeles over the objection of Gov. Gavin Newsom, has begun demobilizing. (snip)
Still, Los Angeles remains in an uneasy state of high alert, anxious about the next salvo that many feel will inevitably come from a president who often fixates on California.

The author.
How dramatic. /s
Is she even a biological woman?!
There is some Grade A crazy in those eyes.
GOOD. The criminal illegal aliens should be afraid. So afraid, in fact, they should go back home.
Those who are here legally have nothing to fear regardless of their race. Those here illegally should obey our laws and go home. Problem solved.
Attention Tom Homan. Cleanup on Pico Blvd.
There is reason to doubt it...seems to be an effort to hide the old Adam’s Apple there.m, and the facial features are harsh.
I think they left the “n” out of her last name.
Lol
What is best in life?
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”
And what ever this author is.
The media promotes anti-white behavior and many immigrants play along with a smile. Why would I as a white guy care what happens to them?
Not if you're here legally.
He should find another line of work.
Legally in America?
Welcome friends!
Illegally present in America?
Get the Phoook Out!
Every last one.
That looks like 40-year-old you in drag. Well, the rest of you - not just the chin.
I’d say they’re getting nervous about having no one to wipe their asses.
Yikes!
I keep pressing the “Abuse button”, but that horrific picture is still there...
