LOS ANGELES: Calling President Donald Trump a threat to the American way of life, Governor Gavin Newsom depicted the federal military intervention in Los Angeles as the onset of a much broader effort by Trump to overturn political and cultural norms at the heart of the nation’s democracy. In a speech Tuesday evening, the potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate said the arrival of National Guard and Marine troops in the city at Trump’s direction was not simply about quelling protests that followed a series of immigration raids by federal authorities.

The White House announced that Trump would deploy the Guard to “address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.” It wasn't clear when the troops would arrive.

Trump went against Gov. Gavin Newsom to federalize 2,000 California National Guard troops to quell the protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles.

State and local officials warned that the National Guard’s presence could escalate protests, while Republican lawmakers blamed state leadership for the clashes.

"We’re gonna have troops everywhere. We’re not going to let this happen to our country."
