Federal Government Seeks Control of California National Guard, Deploying 2,000 Soldiers to Los Angeles

Los Angeles braces for potential deployment of 2,000 National Guard soldiers as federal government seeks to take control of California's National Guard. Governor Gavin Newsom released a statement expressing his concern over the situation, stating: "The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions." Newsom's statement highlights the potential for increased conflict and instability in Los Angeles, where tensions are already high. The move raises concerns about federal overreach and the potential for the militarization of local law enforcement. The situation is developing rapidly, and further updates are expected.
