Protesters clashed with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and FBI agents as multiple raids played out in Los Angeles on Friday, and local authorities appeared to side mainly with the illegal aliens.
The raids were undertaken in several locations — including two Home Depot stores and the headquarters of Ambient Apparel in the fashion district — ranging from downtown Los Angeles to Westlake, Cypress Park, and the area known as Skid Row.
As the raids began, Mayor Karen Bass (D-LA) spoke out, condemning the federal agents for enforcing federal immigration laws and issuing a statement via X: “This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement actions in multiple locations in Los Angeles. As mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place.”
“These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city,” she continued. “My office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations. We will not stand for this.”
