The Los Angeles City Controller has released data showing that the recent protests over federal immigration raids have cost local taxpayers more than $30 million.
In a post to X on Friday, City Controller Kenneth Mejia said that, as of June 17, the cost related to the protests that have roiled the city — mostly downtown L.A. — is $32,042,107.

They encouraged it. They better not come crying for the rest of us to pay for it.
Looks peaceful to me!!
LA taxpayers? Fine by me.
Well they are the morons financing the Mexican Funfests like the one in the picture below. All entertainment is very expensive these days. You want a Mexican colony in California, you’re going to have to pay for it.
I wonder if the controller knows how much all the illegal sex trophies going to la unified school district have cost us
Tough Shi’ite. The mayor spends billions harboring illegals who are felons.
Too bad, L.A. Should have dealt with the riots at the start, quickly and effectively, and saved a lot of taxpayer money.
It’s cheaper than supporting the leeches and dealing with the damage they do with criminal activity.
“””How could that be? The local media (I live here) kept telling us how peaceful it was, how respectful the proters were “exercising their First Amendment Rights” - whether legal or illegal.””
They said the same thing here when they peacefully burned down Minneapolistan after Saint Floyd overdosed.
I think they released that report a bit early since the fearsome new and improved “No Kings 2.0” protest is on the way.
A small mostly peaceful protest?
Send the bill to the Walmart lady who funded it.
Why don’t local governments ever complain about providing food, shelter, medical care and for tolerating the crime of illegals? It’s always the cost of their removal that lights them up. Could it be that they’re considered their political base? Voters?
LA County is looking at $2 billion in wildfire-related expenses and $4 billion child sexual abuse settlements...
On the latter...
Note to LA county...
Let’s talk about THAT.
The left 100% owns this crap.
A drop in the bucket when the overall cost of illegal immigrants is added up.
That’s the preliminary costs.
The cost of removing graffiti, repairing structures, and police claiming disabilities after the riots will be much higher.
Then add in private businesses having their buildings and stores trashed and looted.
For Californians to pay. Not the rest of America. No way.
Paid riots funded by liberal billionaires cost the city $30 million. As Soros to pay it off for you.
