In the days before protests erupted in Los Angeles, the Trump administration stepped up its efforts to detain migrants — taking into custody those who arrived for routine check-ins while also conducting workplace raids that have sent waves of fear across Southern California and beyond.

Mayor Karen Bass said Sunday that Los Angeles does not need National Guard troops to bolster city police amid protests against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, despite violent incidents.

President Trump has said the city would be burning without military intervention, but the protests have been confined to a relatively small area.

Mayor Karen Bass and legislators oppose Trump's planned immigration raids and military presence in Los Angeles.

Resources were made available this weekend for downtown Los Angeles businesses that were impacted by the recent events stemming from immigration operations, Mayor Karen Bass announced. The resources set forth by the mayor will include virtual webinars to help business owners learn more about the assistance available for them.
