Governor Newsom requests the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops

Los Angeles, California – Governor Newsom has formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command. California didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.
