Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass lifted the week-long curfew on Downtown L.A. Tuesday as ongoing protests against the Trump administration's ICE raids in the city see a marked reduction in acts of violence,

Bass said the raids are the "cause of the problems" across the area and that the problems have been "provoked by the White House."

Unlike criticisms Bass faced for her wildfire response, one political observer says mayor’s skillsets are ‘very well suited’ to addressing latest turmoil.
