LA Mayor Bass Urges Peace Amid National Guard Deployment

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass calls for calm amid National Guard deployment. Tensions are running high in Los Angeles following President Trump's decision to send in the National Guard to quell anti-ICE protests. Mayor Karen Bass addressed the city today, urging residents to express their concerns peacefully. "I want the people of Los Angeles to know that we stand with all Angelenos," Bass stated, "but it does not give you the right to be violent, to create chaos, or to vandalize property." Her call for peace comes as many Angelenos are expressing anger and outrage over the situation. The deployment of the National Guard has raised concerns about potential escalation of the conflict. The Mayor's plea for peaceful protest offers a path towards de-escalation and a peaceful resolution to the ongoing unrest.
