The heated exchange comes just hours after the vice president's own press conference, where he took jabs at both Mayor Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom, claiming their decisions and policies are "endangering" federal officials

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,...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass compared the impact of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids to the coronavirus lockdowns that her party imposed on California, in that both kept people at home. Bass made the comparison over the weekend in visits to small businesses in a neighborhood that, the Los Angeles Times, depended on the “immigrant” economy (the Times never used the word “illegal). The Times reported: Bass visited a number of small businesses in Boyle Heights with Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez (D-Los Angeles), including Casa Fina, Distrito Catorce, Yeya’s and Birrieria De Don Boni, as well as the Estrada...

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Weeknight,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass responded to a question on whether the LAPD should tip off neighborhood leaders if they know ICE enforcement is coming by saying that “the problem is, is that they don’t. They don’t have any idea. And so, they cannot be helpful in that way. They are excluded. They’re just as in the dark as we are.” Co-host Alicia Menendez asked, “Mayor Bass, to your point about L.A. being an experiment, you had the president today saying that he wants to step up deportation efforts in many Democrat-run cities....

Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass used Father’s Day not to honor the importance of fatherhood or the role of strong families, but to push a political message about illegal immigration. Instead of acknowledging the responsibility that comes with breaking U.S. law, Bass focused her message on sympathy for children whose fathers were deported for being in the country illegally. Her statement ignored the legal consequences of entering or remaining in the U.S. unlawfully and painted deportation as an unjust act rather than a necessary part of enforcing immigration law. “This morning, I’m thinking about the children in Los Angeles...

We narrowly avoided a Vice President Karen Bass—South Koreans weren’t so fortunate. Despite the LA riots being a direct manifestation of Joe Biden’s open border policy, they prove there is one decision he made (if, in fact, he was making them) in 2020, which we can appreciate—and recent political history in South Korea reveal why. In August 2020, after considering several prominent Democrats for the position of vice president on his ticket, presidential candidate Biden selected “word salad” expert Kamala Harris. As a female and a minority member, she met his DEI requirements. But another DEI candidate making his shortlist...

Everyone probably remembers during Donald Trump’s first presidency when Kelly Osbourne completely jammed her foot in her mouth during a segment on The View when she got a little carried away talking like a tough guy, delivering what she no doubt thought was a zinger: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?”It was such a monumental jack** moment, even the other View women gasped and cringed, and Osbourne quickly backpeddled.That was only the beginning. Since then, Democrat after Democrat has warned what enforcing immigration law means (but...

The above quote is attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte and is very appropriate today. The feckless Karen Bass on Tuesday called for a curfew after several days of rioting, looting and vandalism. She should have done it after the first day. Bass is now asking for help cleaning up from the riots she claimed weren't happening. Gavin Newsom sought an injunction to halt Trump's efforts at shutting down the violence and continue his promised deportations, but Newsom was rejected by the courts. Things in LA might have been different had Newsom spent this much energy stopping the violence instead trying to...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing mounting backlash after a leaked report revealed she had ordered the LAPD to stand down during violent riots, leaving federal officers without critical backup as the situation spiraled out of control.. when DHS and FBI requested assistance because they were overwhelmed by rioters, LAPD sat idle waiting for direction.

This...

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...

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,...

She posted updates on social media seeking to reassure embattled immigrants that the city would fight for them. She held a news conference at City Hall to rally her constituents and assail President Trump for deploying the National Guard. “It’s the last thing...

Hundreds of Marines have been mobilized to Los Angeles after Donald Trump sent National Guard troops to quell the immigration protests. Chaos erupted after protesters clashed with immigration officials across downtown Los Angeles over the weekend, leading to three days of violence and 74 arrests. Looters targeted businesses across the city amid the demonstrations, which saw cars torched and security forces firing tear gas at rioters. Despite the National Guard's presence, the military is set to temporarily deploy about 700 Marines from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms to the city. It is unclear what grounds...
