LA officials urge protesters not to engage in violence
Officials in Los Angeles are calling for protesters to stay peaceful as National Guard troops are deployed in the city.
In a post on X, LA Mayor Karen Bass writes that she met with Governor Gavin Newsom and law enforcement officials a little earlier to discuss public safety.
"Angelenos — don’t engage in violence and chaos. Don’t give the administration what they want," she says.
Separately, California's Lt Governor Eleni Kounalakis writes: "What’s happening in LA isn’t about safety — it’s fearmongering."
She adds a call for protesters to be calm: "Stay peaceful. Don’t give Trump what he wants. Our strength is in unity, not chaos."
