Los Angeles – 08 September 2025
1. People holding signs reading (English) "ICE OUT OF LA"
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Mayor Karen Bass, (D) Los Angeles:
"I dissent, we all dissent because from the beginning we have known that Los Angeles has been used as a test case for total dominance and unchecked power by the federal government. We have been used as a test case to begin to normalize military intervention and takeover of our cities."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Armando Gudino, Los Angeles Worker Center Network (LAWCN), plaintiff:
"Today, Supreme Court Conservative majority handed down a ruling many of us feared but expected. By siding with the Trump administration, this court’s majority has revealed itself as highly prejudicial and has further empowered authoritarianism in this country. Immigration agents are now being given the power to profile, stop, detain and arrest people because of the color of their skin, the language they speak, or the work that they do. In doing so, they have effectively legalized racial profiling and by extension, racial discrimination."
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Eunisses Hernandez, Los Angeles City Council Member:
"It’s never been about people who have anything on the records. It’s been about who they don’t want to see in this country anymore. And they’re starting with Latinos, and they will be coming for others. Recognize that. They already taking citizens. It doesn’t matter. Wake up."
5. Press briefing ending
STORYLINE:
The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations for now in Los Angeles, the latest victory for President Donald Trump’s administration at the high court.

Democratic leaders in California condemned the decision. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said she has directed city departments to follow rules barring the use of municipal resources on federal immigration enforcement.

β€œFrom the beginning we have known that Los Angeles has been used as a test case for total dominance and unchecked power by the federal government,” Bass told reporters.
