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.”

Immigration agents who flooded a Los Angeles park on Monday said they were there as a “show of force” to protect residents from MS-13 gangbangers and open air drug markets — before they were furiously confronted by Mayor Karen Bass.
