Governor Newsom Statement on President’s National Emergency Declaration

SACRAMENTO — Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement today after President Trump declared a national emergency at the border:

“President Trump is manufacturing a crisis and declaring a made-up ‘national emergency’ in order to seize power and subvert the constitution. This ’emergency’ is a national disgrace, and the blame lays solely at the feet of the President. Meanwhile, he plans to shutdown and divert funds used by California law enforcement that run counter-narcotics operations and fight drug cartels to build his wall. Our message back to the White House is simple and clear: California will see you in court. ”
