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.

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

a political agenda of provoking fear and terror

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

This is just such an incredible misuse of not only taxpayers' money, but of the young people who are in the National Guard.

Let me tell you, we have a Los Angeles Police Department that has to deal with crime in this city every single day, and they’re not masked, they stay here.

This is just such an incredible misuse of, not only taxpayers money, but of the young people who are in the National Guard.

I'm sorry, no, we're doing a national search, and he is certainly open to apply.

Los Angeles is a city of immigrants — 3.8 million people and about 50% of our population is Latino. So when the raids started, fear spread.

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

The troops have never been involved in crowd control, never involved in the protest. They have been guarding a building.
