This is reckless. Useless. And disrespect for our troops“, Newsom wrote in X after the last announcements of the National Administration.
In addition, he made a presentation formally asking the Trump administration to “terminate the illegal deployment of troops in Los Angeles County and return them” under his command. “We had no problem until Trump intervened.
