Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has openly criticized President Trump for his immigration raids, asserting they harm the city's economy reliant on its immigrant population. Known for her collaborative approach, Bass has shifted to direct confrontation amid ongoing crises such as the Palisades fire and immigration sweeps. This pivot marks a significant change in her leadership style, highlighting her commitment to defending the city's values during challenging times. Political analysts note that these crises have tested her capabilities, with some claiming she has shown marked improvement in her response to the current situation.
"I want to tell him to stop the raids," she said. "If you want to devastate the economy of the city of Los Angeles, then attack the immigrant population."
"Having two moments of crisis during the first six months of this year has really tested her mettle as mayor," said GOP political strategist Mike Madrid.
