Newsom Condemns Trump's Additional Troop Deployment to Los Angeles

Los Angeles braces for additional National Guard deployment as Governor Newsom criticizes Trump's decision. On June 9th, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom publicly criticized President Trump's decision to deploy another 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles. Newsom's statement, shared via X (formerly Twitter), highlighted the concerning conditions faced by the initial 2,000 troops, many of whom remain unused and lack basic provisions such as food and water. "The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting unused, in federal buildings without orders," Newsom tweeted. This deployment comes amidst heightened political tensions and raises questions about resource allocation and the troops' well-being. Newsom's statement underscores the urgency of addressing the situation, with concerns about the potential for further escalation. The video's creator, Harry, also voiced concerns about the situation, calling the deployment "incredibly irresponsible" and a "major escalation." The situation continues to develop, with ongoing discussions about the necessity of such a large-scale troop deployment and the welfare of the National Guard personnel.
