Did Karen Bass 'prevent' LAPD from assisting 'overwhelmed' FBI? Alleged leak on LA riots sparks outrage

The alleged leak was shared by an Instagram handle titled defendthelapd, and was later widely shared on X. The post adds, 'This unprecedented political interference demands a federal investigation into potential endangerment of federal personnel and obstruction of emergency response.' The leak has now prompted outrage online. An update in the comment section of the above post stated Bass put out a statement shortly after this leak became public. She wrote on X, 'We will always protect the constitutional right for Angelenos to peacefully protest. However, violence, destruction and vandalism will not be tolerated in our City and those responsible will be held fully accountable.' Bass has been heavily criticized for her response to the anti-ICE riots, including by Donald Trump, who slammed both her and Gavin Newsom. The President wrote on Truth Social, 'Governor Gavin Newscum and 'Mayor' Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots. These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, NO MASKS!'

Los Angeles burns as Trump deploys National Guard amid immigration crackdown
Protests erupted across Los Angeles over the weekend as thousands gathered to oppose the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and the unprecedented federal deployment of National Guard troops without the state's consent. Here are the key developments: 1. On the third day of protests over the US administration's crackdown on immigration, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets Sunday in response to President Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles. 2. About 300 federal troops were deployed in the city—reportedly the first time in decades that the National Guard was activated without a governor's consent. 3. Groups of protesters, many carrying Mexican flags and signs denouncing US immigration authorities, gathered in multiple areas around the city. 4. As protests turned violent near the Metropolitan Detention Center, demonstrators blocked the 101 Freeway and Alphabet's Waymo self-driving vehicles were on fire. Demonstrators shouted 'Shame on you!' at police and some appeared to throw objects, video images showed. In return, law enforcement responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and flash bangs to disperse the crowd. 5. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, the last time the National Guard was activated without a governor's permission was in 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to protect a civil rights march in Alabama. 6. Federal authorities said the weeklong tally of immigrant arrests in the Los Angeles area surpassed 100. Many more were arrested during protests, including a prominent union leader accused of impeding law enforcement. 7. Calling the deployment unlawful, California Governor Gavin Newsom requested the Trump administration to withdraw the order. Newsom accused Trump of trying to manufacture a crisis and violating the state's sovereignty. 'These are the acts of a dictator, not a president,' he wrote on X. The White House dismissed Newsom's comments, saying in a statement, 'Everyone saw the chaos, violence and lawlessness.' 8. In a social media post Sunday, Trump called the demonstrators 'violent, insurrectionist mobs' and said he had directed Cabinet officers 'to take all such action necessary' to stop what he called 'riots'. Speaking to reporters in New Jersey, Trump threatened violence against protesters: 'They spit, we hit.' 9. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticised the US government over the immigration raids and National Guard deployment. 'We do not agree with this way of addressing the immigration issue,' Sheinbaum said at a public event. 'The phenomenon will not be addressed with raids or violence. It will be by sitting down and working on comprehensive reform.' 10. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out the largest single-day immigrant arrest operation in its history this week, detaining more than 2,200 people, according to NBC News. Trump has pledged to deport record numbers of undocumented immigrants and set a goal for ICE to arrest at least 3,000 migrants a day. –With inputs from AP and Reuters
