Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has highlighted the overwhelming vandalism and graffiti issues affecting the downtown area, especially as the city approaches the World Cup in a year. She called for a collaborative effort involving business, community, and faith leaders to address the cleanup. The recent unrest linked to ICE protests has seen extensive property damage, with several businesses being looted and public spaces vandalized. Bass condemned these actions, suggesting that they distract from genuine immigrant support and urged for unified efforts to beautify the city.
We are just one year away from the World Cup. This is about beautifying our city and bringing our city together, and so I am calling on business leaders, community leaders, faith leaders to come together.
City workers are already out there removing the graffiti, but this is so extensive it's going to take community-wide involvement.
Individuals that commit vandalism and violence in our city really are not in support of immigrants; they have another agenda.
Businesses, vehicles, infrastructure, and even public benches were vandalized and destroyed by protesters this week after protests erupted in Los Angeles.
