The Palisades community has been through an unimaginable year, and my heart breaks for every family that won’t be able to be home this holiday season. But today is an important moment of hope.

A full understanding of the Lachman fire response is essential to an accurate accounting of what occurred during the January wildfires.

Make no mistake: our city’s firefighters are heroes every day. We owe it to them and the people of Los Angeles to make sure that their fire department is led, organized and ready for whatever emergencies may arise.

This puts the former vice president in danger and I look forward to working with the governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles.

We will not be divided and we will not be defeated.

This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more.

A political agenda of provoking fear and terror

That’s unbelievably disrespectful. It’s a provocative act.

The problem for them is, Los Angeles doesn’t get scared and Los Angeles doesn’t back down. We never have and we never will.

We do not need them here and they had no business to come here and provoke this.

The governor is inside having a press conference; there was no reason in the world for them to come here.

Well, it absolutely is. But flex, dosing, to me, they’re trying to see how much are we going to tolerate?

Today is a victory for the rule of law and for the City of Los Angeles.

I can absolutely, emphatically say, no, they did not cause problems in the city of Los Angeles.

With debris removal months ahead of expectations, construction underway, and new action taken today to further streamline the rebuilding process, we continue to push forward in our all out effort to get families home.

While our recovery is on track to be the fastest in modern California history, I know that nothing will erase the unimaginable pain and loss that the Palisades community has endured.

Well, I will heap praise on the administration for the first six months in Los Angeles with the fires.

Well, I am just hoping that this reign of terror ends. I’m hoping that the military leaves because they were never needed here to begin with.

Well, I will keep praise on the administration for the first six months in Los Angeles with the fires. If you ask me, is there anything that they have done good in terms of immigration, I don’t know. I don’t think so.

Let me just tell you that the people that make that trek, many of whom walk from Central America and even South America up to our border, risk their lives. I don’t believe that all of these people are sitting at home dreaming of coming to…

I don’t think so. I think they should stay.

Just this morning I stood with veterans, families of active duty officers, and business leaders to show the impact of this unnecessary, unprecedented, and unconstitutional assault on our city.

This is another win for Los Angeles but this is also a win for those serving this country in uniform.

The hearts of Angelenos are with all of the victims impacted this morning — a full investigation into what happened is underway.

I’m sorry, I don’t think you have a right to have a mask and snatch people off the street.
