Karen Bass: “I commend the department for taking these steps to reduce the potential for abuse of force by Federal law enforcement.”

Ultimately people will lose their lives. We urge HUD to work with the City of Los Angeles to provide the necessary funding to reduce homelessness.

Our efforts ultimately couldn't keep up with policies and funding cuts at the federal and state levels that pushed more people onto the streets.

While the LAFD continues making progress, this is a major, multi-jurisdictional incident. I'm issuing an emergency declaration to ensure the City has the resources it needs as this operation continues and to keep the community safe.
