California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance over a purported plan to fire live ordnance over the Interstate 5 highway as part of a military anniversary celebration on Friday and Saturday, adding to the escalating tensions between the Trump administration and the California government.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the alleged live-fire exercise will be part of an event called “Sea to Shore — A Review of Amphibious Strength,” to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps.

The report added that a media advisory sent by the military said the event will feature a “live amphibious assault demonstration.”
