    LOS ANGELES – California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC that he plans to file suit Monday against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment, which he called “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.” This appears to be the first time in decades that a state’s National Guard was activated without a request from its governor.

    Trump has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize federal service members when there is “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.” Roughly 300 National Guard members arrived in the city over the weekend, and Trump said he had authorized 2,000 members to deploy if needed.

    Gov NewScum had no problem sending law enforcement goons to close down a pre school because they wouldn’t abuse kids and force them to wear masks while NewScum would go hang out with his buddies in a restaurant while forcing everyone else to stay home, NewScum is a fascistic hypocritical scumbag who supports illegal alien criminals over law abiding citizens.

    No one should ever spit on the American flag. Soldiers died to preserve the flag and what it stands for. SHAME ON THEM. rabbi

    Frivolous lawsuit. Newsome has no say about deployment of the National Guard.

    So instead of doing something, as the Governor of that State, to stop the carnage and mayhem, he’s busy working on a frivolous lawsuit ment to make him look intelligent to the Hamas gay community. Wow. What leadership skills. He definitely has my vote in 2028

    Mr. Trump did what he felt needed to be done to protect those Federal agents lawfully doing their job. These protesters are very lucky that they are doing this crap here and not in a place like Myanmar, or Venezuela, but then of course illegals would have already been dealt with, not given food, shelter and health care

    This is a completely manufactured “crisis”. There is no “carnage and mayhem” There were a few isolated incidents that could have been easily handled by local authorities.
    The overwhelming majority of people were merely conveying their disgust at what is happening to otherwise law abiding illegal migrants.
    Trump is adept at distracting from his failures: a failed tarriff policy, trouble with the budget busting (2.4 trillion)bill and an economy that may go into recession. This is just another example
