Mayor Karen Bass Discusses National Guard Deployment and Chaos in Los Angeles

Published | Video Starts at 00:10

Thanks so much for taking the time. Thanks for talking to me. So what was the practical result of the fact that Donald Trump has federalized the National Guard? The practical result was chaos. That's what it was. It was chaos and it was adding onto layers of fear that had already happened after the raids in February. So it creates a sense of uncertainty in our city and basically just contributes to the widespread concern. People are terrified. They don't know what's going to happen. (00:10–00:19)

CLAIM

Asserts that federalizing the National Guard resulted in chaos and added to existing fear from previous raids.
