Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is complaining again, this time claiming that ICE raids are destabilizing the city economy.
Have you noticed that when Bass speaks, she is never talking about rebuilding efforts? Thousands of homes were lost in a fire a few months back and yet you never hear her address this issue. It’s always just complaints about Trump and ICE.
It’s almost like she would rather talk about ICE than the fact that the rebuilding is going so slowly.
ABC in Los Angeles reports:
Bass says immigration raids are destabilizing LA’s economy
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Wednesday blasted the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, saying the raids have put a huge dent in the city’s economy.
Bass said businesses have seen a drastic reduction in immigrant customers. She’s concerned some immigrant families whose breadwinners have been rounded up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement may be on the brink of being left destitute.
“When one breadwinner, one wage earner, is gone and disappears – to survive in our city, economically, you need two, three and four wage earners to keep housing, to keep food on the table, to keep clothes on your kids,” Bass said.
“When that is taken away from you that just doesn’t destabilize a family, that destabilizes a neighborhood,” the mayor added. “It destabilizes businesses. It destabilizes a community.”
Last week, a federal appeals court ruled to uphold a lower court’s temporary order blocking the Trump administration from conducting indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in Southern California.

“We’ve seen the raids. That destabilizes the community. We aren’t going to allow this administration to destabilize our city.”

She should be focused on rebuilding. All the ICE talk is clearly just a distraction.
