<p data-start="0" data-end="264">Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt says in a newly resurfaced video that he doesn&#8217;t want federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Los Angeles — which, at first glance, might appear to be a surprising take from the former reality star.</p>
<p data-start="266" data-end="349">Pratt, however, is not okay with criminals in his city; he wants just the opposite.</p>
<p data-start="351" data-end="653">The candidate explained that simply enforcing the law and cracking down on crime would eliminate the necessity for ICE agents to come to LA in the first place, and accused Democrat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and other &#8220;activist&#8221; mayors of playing politics and hurting their constituents in the process.</p>
<p data-start="655" data-end="862">&#8220;I don&#8217;t want ICE in LA — nobody wants ICE in LA, except Karen &#8216;Basura,&#8217; apparently,&#8221; Pratt says in the video. The candidate routinely refers to Mayor Bass as Karen &#8220;Basura&#8221; — the Spanish word for &#8220;garbage.&#8221;</p>
<p data-start="864" data-end="1310">&#8220;The way you keep ICE out of LA is by enforcing the law, not defying it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I look at what Mayor [Daniel] Lurie did in San Francisco — clearly, no friend of the Trump administration — but he called the president and made a deal. He vowed to have SFPD crack down on crime, and the president agreed to keep ICE out of the city. &#8230; You don&#8217;t see [any] riots, no crazy videos of ICE agents having chaotic arrests. That&#8217;s how it&#8217;s done.&#8221;</p>
<p data-start="1312" data-end="1610">&#8220;Why is it that only certain cities are having all this chaos with ICE?&#8221; he said. &#8220;They are in a lot of cities, but there are only problems in places like LA and Minneapolis. It&#8217;s not a Democrat/Republican thing. Memphis doesn’t have chaos. Liberal San Francisco doesn&#8217;t have the chaos, unlike LA.&#8221;</p>
<p data-start="1612" data-end="1824">The &#8220;common denominator&#8221; in these chaotic cities, Pratt argued, is &#8220;activist mayors using their city, their residents, their businesses as fodder for their political grandstanding, and people suffer as a result.&#8221;</p>
<p data-start="1826" data-end="2136">&#8220;By failing to enforce the law, Karen &#8216;Basura&#8217; is guaranteeing that ICE will flood the city,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Unlike reckless mayors like Karen &#8216;Basura,&#8217; adults put their egos aside. They live in the real world and they make deals to protect their communities, and that&#8217;s exactly how I will end the ICE raids in LA.&#8221;</p>
<p data-start="2138" data-end="2210">&#8220;Our city is not a political playhouse, it&#8217;s our home,&#8221; Pratt concluded.</p>
<p data-start="2212" data-end="2362">The video was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1418409230010314">first posted</a> to Pratt&#8217;s Facebook page in February, but has since resurfaced on social media as the race between Pratt and Bass heats up.</p>
<p data-start="2364" data-end="2600" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Bass is still the favorite to win, with Polymarket-style predictions placing Pratt at a 24-28% chance of pulling off an upset. However, recent polling shows a huge number of LA residents as &#8220;undecided,&#8221; which could run in Pratt&#8217;s favor.</p>

<p>He is 100% correct. The way you keep ICE out of your city is to enforce the law. If you choose to let illegal alien criminals roam the streets -… <a href="https://t.co/caHrNZAxb2">pic.twitter.com/caHrNZAxb2</a></p>
