Kamala Harris Quietly Phones In To Newsom’s Voicemail Box Amid LA Riots

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has recently been making phone calls to Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom to discuss the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots in Los Angeles, Politico reported Thursday.

Harris, a Los Angeles resident, was not able to reach Newsom over the phone, but left him a voicemail to show support, according to Politico. The report comes after anti-ICEriots broke out across Los Angeles over the weekend, causing President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops to the city.

Harris posted a statement to X on Sunday in response to the unrest in Los Angeles, claiming that Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to the city was a “dangerous escalation.”

Harris decided to release the statement about the riots in Los Angeles largely due to the fact that she is a California native and also feels empathetic towards protesters after growing up amid civil rights protests, one anonymous source told Politico.
