Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is condemning the presence of federal agents and National Guard troops who descended on MacArthur Park July 7.

During an afternoon press conference with Bass, City Council member Eunisses Hernandez and Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Bass stated that the raid “was another example of the [Trump] administration ratcheting up chaos by deploying what looked like a military operation in an American city.”

A visibly angry Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Monday blasted the Trump administration's continued immigration enforcement push throughout the city amid reports of a large-scale operation near downtown.
