Karen Bass: “If you drive through downtown L.A., the graffiti is everywhere and has caused significant damages.”

We must rigorously examine whether our policies, training, tactics, supervision and accountability systems are sufficient.

Residents, public agencies and elected officials have repeatedly sought timely information regarding the cleanup, remediation, environmental monitoring and recovery.

They deserve transparency, clear communication, and meaningful support.

We will always protect our neighbors, and we continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with immigrant families in LA and everywhere.
