- DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated patrols are routine and aimed at enforcing laws, not targeting Newsom.
- Mayor Karen Bass condemned the agents' presence as 'provocative' and 'disrespectful,' questioning their motives.
- Bass has criticized immigration raids in L.A., calling for an end to 'reckless' tactics.
