() Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Tuesday will provide an update on the looting and vandalism that have occurred in the city as protests against immigration enforcement efforts continue.

“Let me be clear: ANYONE who vandalized Downtown or looted stores does not care about our immigrant communities,” Bass said in a social media post. “You will be held accountable.”

A California Highway Patrol officer told on Tuesday that looters were taking advantage of the city’s preoccupied police. Multiple arrests stemmed from jewelry store break-ins overnight.

The city has seen turmoil since the weekend after Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided several locations in downtown LA and detained 44 people while encountering protesters.

Crowds gathered outside federal buildings downtown, including a detention center, where local police declared an unlawful assembly and made multiple arrests.

President Donald Trump has deployed thousands of California National Guard troops over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Border czar Tom Homan sent a warning to California officials that they could face arrest and prosecution if they “cross the line” following Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops.
