US EditionLA Unrest Cancels More than 600 Appointments at City’s VA Clinic
- The VA’s Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center temporarily closed on Monday, June 9, 2025, due to violent protests disrupting services at the facility.
- The closure followed weeks of anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, which involved violent mobs opposing immigration enforcement and led to over 160 arrests since June 6.
- Over 600 veteran appointments were cancelled or shifted to telehealth this week, and vandals defaced the clinic with graffiti threatening federal immigration officials.
- VA Secretary Doug Collins condemned the city and state for neglecting law and order, saying this neglect is disrupting veterans' access to the health services they deserve, and assured that the facility will resume operations once conditions are secure.
- The disruption raises concerns about veterans’ access to care post-protests, and Collins urged local leaders to secure the area and cover repair costs while legal battles continue over federal military deployments.
