Karen Bass: “If there is any repeat of the violence that we saw on June 3rd that there will be consequences.”

Let me just say this is my third office, but this is it.

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.

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.
