Well, I believe they've departed, but they were never needed in the first place.

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.

No, no, I don't think that that's a problem at all. Our interim fire chief has 40 years of experience.

They don't identify themselves. And furthermore, to your previous guest, how on earth do they know that they're a threat when they're just chasing random people through parking lots?

The thoughts of all Angelenos are with all of those impacted by this blast.

It’s clear that this is all part of a political agenda to terrorize immigrants and signal that they need to stay at home when there are entire sectors of our economy that rely on immigrant workers.

They are leaving! They are retreating! We stood strong! We peacefully protested!

To have armored vehicles deployed on the streets of our city, to federalize the National Guard, to have the U.S. Marines who are trained to kill abroad, deployed to our city — all of this is outrageous and it is un-American.

I would give cash assistance to immigrants affected by the raids.

This happened because the people of Los Angeles stood united and stood strong. We organized peaceful protests, we came together at rallies, we took the Trump administration to court — all of this led to today’s retreat.

My comment is they need to leave, and they need to leave right now. They need to leave because this is unacceptable.

The money will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners.

This is a win for Los Angeles and it is a win for cities all across the nation.

Cash cards with a 'couple hundred' dollars on them will be distributed by immigrants’ rights groups in about a week.

Los Angeles has been under assault by the Trump Administration as masked men grab people off the street, chase working people through parking lots and march through children’s summer camps.

There is a need for me to have an executive directive to help our city understand how to protect itself from our federal government.

The directive will help city workers know how to address immigration officials should they approach a city department.

I just want to repeat the irony that I am going to sign an executive directive to help the city family understand how to protect the workforce and Angelenos from our federal government.

They are motivated by a political agenda of provoking fear and terror.

Frankly, it is outrageous and un-American that we have federal armed vehicles in our parks when nothing is going on in the parks.

The goal, she said, is to ensure that residents and city workers know their rights and can safely access services without fear.

This is for city departments, city employees to understand what their rights are, meaning that you can’t just allow people to come in and run roughshod.

The family members that are left behind don’t know whether their family members are in the city, in the state, or even in the country.
