Los Angeles is facing a complete breakdown of law and order.
The city’s Democrat mayor tried to blame President Trump for the chaos.
And Karoline Leavitt just landed a brutal blow on Mayor Karen that left her scrambling for cover.
Karen Bass tries to blame Trump for LA’s lawlessness
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass found herself in hot water after making outrageous comments about immigration enforcement in her city.
Bass actually had the nerve to blame President Trump’s immigration raids for the disorder and chaos that erupted in Los Angeles.
"If immigration raids had not happened here, we would not have the disorder that went on last night," Bass claimed.
The mayor’s stunning statement came as her city descended into complete lawlessness with criminals running wild in the streets.
Bass was essentially arguing that enforcing immigration law was somehow responsible for the breakdown of public safety in Los Angeles.
It was a breathtaking display of twisted logic from a Democrat mayor who has presided over the decline of one of America’s largest cities.
Los Angeles has become a sanctuary city under Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom’s leadership, protecting illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement.
The city’s sanctuary policies have created a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens who should have been deported long ago.
But instead of taking responsibility for the chaos her policies have created, Bass tried to shift the blame to President Trump for actually enforcing the law.
Karoline Leavitt delivers the perfect response
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn’t about to let Bass get away with her ridiculous excuses.
Leavitt fired back with a response that cut right to the heart of the matter.
"Newsflash, Karen: There are immigration raids happening because Joe Biden allowed illegal alien criminals into Los Angeles, and you have dangerous sanctuary city policies that protect them," Leavitt posted on X.
"Since you and Governor Newsom refuse to maintain law and order — President Trump will," she added.
Leavitt’s response perfectly captured the reality of the situation in Los Angeles.
The chaos isn’t happening because Trump is enforcing immigration law.
The chaos is happening because Bass and Newsom have created policies that protect criminal illegal aliens from consequences.
Leavitt called out the root cause of LA’s problems – the sanctuary city policies that have turned the city into a magnet for illegal aliens, including dangerous criminals.
President Trump ran on a promise to restore law and order to American cities, and he’s following through on that commitment.
The immigration raids that Bass complained about are targeting criminal illegal aliens who pose a threat to public safety.
These are exactly the kinds of people who should be removed from American communities.
LA’s sanctuary policies create chaos
The disorder in Los Angeles isn’t some random occurrence – it’s the predictable result of policies that prioritize protecting illegal aliens over protecting American citizens.
Bass and Newsom have created a system where criminal illegal aliens know they can operate with impunity because local authorities won’t cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
This has turned Los Angeles into a playground for criminal elements who know they can avoid consequences for their actions.
The sanctuary city policies that Bass champions have made Los Angeles less safe for law-abiding residents.
Instead of acknowledging this reality, Bass tried to blame Trump for enforcing the law and removing dangerous criminals from her city.
It’s a perfect example of how Democrat leaders have completely lost touch with their responsibilities to protect public safety.
Leavitt’s response highlighted the absurdity of Bass’s position and made it clear that the Trump administration won’t be deterred by complaints from Democrat mayors.
President Trump has made it clear that he will enforce immigration law regardless of whether local Democrat officials like it or not.
Trump administration restores law and order
The immigration raids that Bass complained about are part of President Trump’s broader effort to restore law and order to American cities.
Trump campaigned on a promise to end the chaos of the Biden years and return to policies that prioritize American citizens over illegal aliens.
The enforcement operations in Los Angeles are exactly what voters elected Trump to do.
Criminal illegal aliens who pose a threat to public safety are being removed from American communities where they don’t belong.
Bass can complain all she wants, but the American people have spoken loud and clear about what they want from their government.
They want leaders who will enforce the law and protect American citizens, not politicians who make excuses for criminals.
Leavitt’s response to Bass showed exactly why Trump chose her as his Press Secretary.
She has the ability to cut through Democrat talking points and deliver the truth in a way that resonates with the American people.
The chaos in Los Angeles isn’t President Trump’s fault – it’s the direct result of Democrat policies that have failed the people of that city.
