Newsom Slams Trump's LA National Guard Deployment as 'Unhinged'

Los Angeles braces for potential escalation of tensions as Governor Newsom criticizes President Trump's deployment of 2,000 National Guard members. The deployment, announced amidst ongoing protests related to recent ICE raids, has sparked a heated exchange between state and federal officials. Governor Newsom, during an interview on the "Pod Save America" podcast, expressed strong disapproval, stating, “I imagine they may even be pulled for this theatrical display of toughness by a president of the United States who's unhinged and has now crossed a red line in this country.” This statement highlights the Governor's concern over the potential impact on California's ability to respond to other critical situations, such as the ongoing wildfire season. The deployment has raised questions about resource allocation and the federal government's role in managing local emergencies. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing discussions between state and federal officials aimed at finding a resolution that addresses both security concerns and the state's need for sufficient resources to manage its own emergencies. The potential for further escalation remains a key concern for residents of Los Angeles.
