Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass spoke to KTLA on Sunday morning to discuss the protests on the ice raids taking place throughout the city and the Los Angeles Greater Region in addition to a response from federal officials, including President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy thousands of National Guard forces.
“I am very disappointed [Trump] Choose to [deploy the National Guard] “It wasn’t necessary,” Bass said in an interview on the phone.
The mayor continued to say that she was told that there were about 120 protesters in the center of Los Angeles on Saturday night, and some of them “committed sabotage”, but nothing the Los Angeles Police Administration could not deal with.
“For me, this is completely unnecessary, and I think it is [Trump] The administration that only puts, “Follow Bass.” I spoke to the ruler several times … I haven’t spoken to the president, but I spoke to officials in his administration, and expressed them that things were not out of control in the city of Los Angeles. “
“Paramond had some problems, but I doubt very seriously that the National Guard was needed there,” she added. “For me, this is only politician.”

Speaking of what she told federal officials, Bass said she was in contact with the border Tsar Tom Human and explicitly told him that “if you want to be chaos in Los Angeles, you will have forces on the ground.”
In addition, Mayor Bass said that the migrants who were detained are no longer in the center of Los Angeles, and they are likely to be transferred to an ice facility in Adelanto. It has not been informed of the conditions kept.
“What I was paying the administration to do is allow the legal advisor to enter and speak to the people who were arrested,” Bass explained. “This is the way in the past and there is no reason to break this practice.”
On this topic, Bass noted that federal officials “open it” when she spoke to them and that she was “looking to follow” on Sunday.
“I hope they make a decision,” she said.
Federal officials have criticized local law enforcement of the slow -back response times, something that Mayor Bass believes is unfair to the Los Angeles Police Chief Jim MacDonil and the respondents.
She said: “I think people should understand that if the president does not know when the ice will come to the city, where they will be and why, you will not be able to come to the city and expect that LAPD will collect hundreds of officers in a few minutes.” “I understand that it took about an hour to [full deployment]”
Bass was also a message to the demonstrators.
“It is definitely [the protesters’] She said that the right to exercise the first amendment, but it is completely unacceptable that there is any level of violence or sabotage of any kind. [resulted] In the National Guard [being deployed]”
