U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) says the Mayor of Los Angeles should be arrested for attempting to shut down a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid on Monday.

Video shows LA Mayor Karen Bass at MacArthur Park talking to ICE officials conducting the operation.

“They need to leave and they need to leave right now,” Bass said to reporters. “This is unacceptable!”

Mayor Bass also posted on her social media about the situation.

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. pic.twitter.com/sxGzjGlYlr

This is not the first time Tuberville has called for a Democrat official in California to be punished for using their office to impede federal law enforcement activity. He said the same of California Governor Gavin Newsom last month amid the violent wave of riots and lawlessness.

“Gavin Newsom has failed to do his job,” Tuberville (R-Auburn) posted during the heat of the riots last month. “LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent.”

“Lock him up,” Tuberville said.
