The Trump administration sent a warning letter Friday to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti saying the Department of Justice is concerned the city may pursue “an arbitrary and heavy-handed approach” to stay-at-home orders.
Garcetti defended the city’s approach to the health crisis at a news briefing Friday when asked about the Justice Department‘s criticisms. “We were able to do this and save lives,” he said, adding that the city collaborated with businesses, employees and labor groups on the region’s response. Her comment drew widespread attention, and Garcetti appeared on television news programs later that day, seeking to clarify the region’s response to the health crisis.
Speaking with reporters at the White House, Birx said the Los Angeles metropolitan area, Chicago and Washington, D.C., remain a concern.
