Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced Tuesday that the city filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, seeking to halt ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the city.
Bass said these operations unfairly target individuals based on race or ethnicity, and she is calling for an immediate injunction to prevent further actions by ICE and Customs and Border Protection.
“It is critical that we use every single venue, every single possibility of seeking justice, and that’s what we’re doing today. And I do hope that the courts, especially, issue this injunction and stop this,” Bass said. “But one thing about our city, and I say this every time because I think it’s so important, our city is definitely united. You don’t see dissension here. You see a city that is united because this is who we are.”

“We are a city of immigrants, and we will stand with Angelenos regardless of what country they came from, when they got here, or why they’re here. And, so, with that, I am proud to stand in unity as we file this lawsuit and seek justice, and hopefully that will come in the form of an injunction,” Bass said.
