🚨BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump Deploys 2,000 National Guard Members To California
By: Desmond Price
California Gov. Gavin Newsom tonight said the Trump administration's move to federalize and deploy the state National Guard is being done not because of a legitimate need but due to the desire for a desire for a "spectacle."
Newsom acknowledged the Trump administration's move to use the California National Guard to protect federal agents and help arrest troublemakers during protests against federal immigration raids, and he urged demonstrators to remain peaceful.
"The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle," the governor said in a statement on X.
"Don't give them one," he added. "Never use violence. Speak out peacefully."

Details are still emerging about this story, but tonight the Secretary of Defense said he was considering deploying the Marines into San Diego County. As of now, the Marines are on high alert.
While we haven’t *technically* entered the territory of martial law, we are bordering on it tonight in California.
If you are attending a protest in California, New York, or anywhere for that matter, please do everything you can to be safe.
Do not assume anything when it comes to this administration. They have proven, time and time again, that the norms and usual guardrails do not matter to them.
I truly believe that this is a flex by Trump, because he feels his popularity dropping recently.
Getting humiliated by Elon Musk, having GOP Senators publicly condemn his bill & federal courts striking down all of his major decisions, has left him desperate for positive press.
Trump, being the maniac that he is, believes positive press will come from deploying the military into the streets.
As Trump becomes more unpopular, he will become more authoritarian.
Please stay safe out there & continue to share information, resources, and stay in community.
Until next time,
Desmond
I'm waiting to see how many actually show up - Guard members live in California... it's their state too...& THIS KINDA BULLSHIT ISN'T WHAT THEY SIGNED UP FOR!!!!!
How can Trump legally deploy the National Guard in California when the governor has not asked for that to happen? If Trump federalizes the California National Guard himself, then that guard cannot be used for law-enforcement.
