"This isn't about public safety. It's about stroking a dangerous President's ego," Newsom said. [View all]
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Trump authorized on Monday the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard members to help respond to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids, according to U.S. officials.
The order would put them on active duty. One official warned, however, that the order was just signed and it could take a day or two to get troops moving.
Gov. Gavin Newsom called the move reckless and “disrespectful to our troops” in a post on the social platform X.
“This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego,” Newsom said.
