Karen Bass: “He is having a rally of Rwandans in Texas and he is flying them from all over the world to be there?”

I understand why residents are frustrated. They deserve transparency, clear communication, and meaningful support.

We are a city that is unified.

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.

I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I’m going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.
