Family who lost everything to fire sparked by homeless squatters slams Karen Bass over tragedy
"We'd always call 911 and say this place is full of squatters and peeping toms. They were cooking meth inside the property. We've seen several homes, businesses, people's cars that end up being lit up by homeless people. It's terrible."
"Karen Bass failed us. She failed our family. She failed thousands of families in the same situation because this happens every day in LA. It's her duty to keep the city clean."
"I don't have anything any more. I lost everything. My husband saw 30 years of sacrifice and work go up in flames."
Juan Galicia and Marta Umana lost their home and three dogs in a fire caused by squatters cooking meth next door. Despite multiple complaints to the LAPD about the squatters' activities, no action was taken. Their niece, Sonia Salinas, criticized Mayor Karen Bass for failing to address the issue, stating that the city has a responsibility to maintain safety. The couple expressed their devastation, with Umana stating they lost everything after 30 years of hard work and sacrifice.
