California Governor Gavin Newsom has formally requested Trump administration officials to rescind the order to deploy the National Guard and return control of the force to California, calling the initial order unlawful and “intentionally designed to inflame the situation.”
“I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command,” Newsom wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.”
You’re moving the goal posts. This one comment that were a discussing has nothing to do with ICE, and everything to do with the national guard deployment.
You can not like the man, and many of us don’t, but it’s stupid to criticize him in the now for making moves in the right direction, albeit small moves. The enemy of my enemy and all that, and Newsom in the grand scheme of enemies, is far from the worst to ally with.
