Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D-CA) was featured for an interview on Wednesday’s episode of MSNBC’s Morning Joe to report on an update about the city’s stability and regulation regarding the protests and riots over the ICE arrests. This disaster to the city had brought national attention which led to the stationing of the National Guard, but Bass deflected the thoughts of the defense stating, “there isn’t anything happening here.”
On Tuesday night, a curfew was set in place to regulate protests and people displaying criminal behavior. Bass reports on then new curfew rule stating:
I do think the curfew was effective. We did have arrests, but the majority of the rest were unlawful assembly or violating the curfew. There was no looting. There was no vandalism last night. So, I do think that that has helped. And I do hope that people understand that this is a relatively small slice of Los Angeles, a city with 500 square miles, and this is about two square miles of our downtown area. So, it will be interesting to see what happens today.
