Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the Trump administration's immigration raids, calling them "a recipe for pandemonium" that provoked protests.

Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles said on Monday that the Trump administration and its immigration raids were to blame for inflaming tensions in the city. In a televised interview, Ms. Bass sought to downplay the protests of the last few days. “This is not citywide civil unrest,” she said on CNN. “A few streets downtown, it looks horrible.”
