Homes are under construction throughout the Palisades — ahead of expectations. We've taken action to cut red tape and expedite the permitting process to get families home.

Right now, the Trump administration is using Los Angeles as a test case. But that’s exactly why more than 20 mayors and local leaders from across Southern California are here UNITED today — to confront the impact in each of our cities and to say, with one united voice: The raids must stop. Now.

Six years ago, we lost my dear friend and colleague, Congressman John Lewis. I had the privilege of serving alongside John in Congress and witnessed firsthand the humility, courage, and moral clarity that defined his life. He never stopped believing that ordinary people could build a more just America. Los Angeles was honored to welcome him many times, and his message of justice and love continues to inspire our city. In South L.A., he reminded us that the fight for justice begins in our own communities. Six years after his passing, his example continues to guide us as we work to build a city and a country where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Violence and looting undermines our focus to protect families and leads to chaos. Don’t weaken the movement. Damage to our city will not be tolerated and individuals will be prosecuted.

We will not be intimated by the tactics the Trump Adminstration is deploying on our city. We will always protect Angelenos against the dangerous and cruel actions of this administration.

Los Angeles is taking action. This unprecedented natural disaster requires an unprecedented response. My new Executive Order will clear the way for Angelenos to rapidly rebuild the homes they lost and lays the foundation for businesses to plan their rebuild.

Make no mistake: The Trump Administration is causing the fear and terror so many in LA are feeling. I will fight every day to stand up for immigrants and continue calling on the Trump Administration to END the ICE raids. Thank you for having me on, Ava, for talking about this crucial moment our city faces.

On Saturday, the President posted a message about what a great job the National Guard did in L.A. They didn’t even get here until Sunday. This entire effort is solely to cause chaos and the people of Los Angeles — and our troops — don’t deserve it.

Those being snatched off city streets, chased through parking lots, and grabbed out of their cars are our neighbors, our coworkers, and our family members. We will stand strong for every Angeleno.

Los Angeles is united in our rejection of the Trump Administration’s trampling of our Constitution. We are taking this Administration to court to stop the raids terrorizing our communities and violating our rights. Enough is enough.

Today is the first day of school and we are having to fight to protect our kids from the federal government. Remember — Los Angeles is a test case. What happens here could happen anywhere in the country. We must stand united.

Today Steve Soboroff and I met with residents in the Palisades as we move FORWARD and rebuild. All residents are now able to access their properties – safety is key, and we will maximize resources and minimize the time it takes to bring Angelenos HOME.

Twice now federal courts have ruled against the White House's unconstitutional immigration raids. The targeting of Angelenos working at fruit stands and car washes must end. This is un-American. We will never accept these tactics as a new normal.

I just signed the final approval to begin construction on the LA Convention Center modernization and expansion — a transformational project that will revitalize Downtown, create thousands of good-paying jobs, and bring new energy to the heart of our city.

Inside Safe didn’t begin with a policy. It began with people. Annetta and I have spent decades working alongside Angelenos experiencing homelessness. That experience shaped Inside Safe because we know this work starts with compassion, urgency, and meeting people where they are.

I am not waiting for private corporations to do the right thing. I am using the power of government to deliver real support directly to Boyle Heights and making sure residents have the resources they need, where and when they need them.

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.

No Angeleno should be living on our streets. That’s why we’ve changed how Los Angeles responds to homelessness, not just by helping people come indoors, but by truly addressing the housing crisis. We’re building affordable housing faster than ever before, creating capacity for hundreds of thousands of new homes, converting vacant office buildings into housing, strengthening renter protections, and helping prevent people from falling into homelessness in the first place.

I’ve seen the devastation firsthand. These fires across our region have changed lives forever. The days ahead will be challenging but we WILL get through this crisis, together. Thank you to all the first responders who are working day and night doing everything possible to protect Los Angeles.

Since the raids began, over 170 American citizens have been detained by federal agents without warrants, without probable cause, and without due process. Let that sink in: 170 U.S. citizens, unlawfully detained in our own country.

Let’s be clear: Immigrants are the backbone of Los Angeles. Targeting this community doesn’t just tear families apart — its a blow to our economy. This needs to end now.

Para obtener información en español, visita este enlace ⬇️ - As Mayor, I will not accept a recovery process that restores the status quo. My responsibility is to ensure this community is safer moving forward than it was before the fire began. There will be accountability, but there will also be immediate action. Today, I signed two Emergency Executive Orders to supercharge this work and to use the full extent of my Mayoral power to deploy resources to the communities impacted by the Lineage warehouse fire.

As a result of immigration raids, parents are afraid to take their kids to school, workers are unsure if they should go to work tomorrow, and young people are worried about their future. That does not make L.A. safer. We are strong. We are resilient. We are in this together.
