My statement on what’s unfolding in Los Angeles.
The Office of Kamala D. Harris
Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is a part of the Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.
The Administration’s actions are not about public safety – they’re about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process.
Protest is a powerful tool – essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.
I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.
