UH-HUH: California Democrats push back on Trump’s decision to mobilize the National Guard.

“Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into LA County — not to meet an unmet need, but to manufacture a crisis. He’s hoping for chaos so he can justify more crackdowns, more fear, more control,” Newsom said in a Sunday post on X, where he also urged people to “stay peaceful.”

Newsom’s comments come after Trump deployed the National Guard despite the governor’s opposition. Guard soldiers can be deployed by governors or the federal government, though it is unusual for a president to call the National Guard into federal service in a state where the governor objects, according to experts.

Several California Democrats criticized the administration’s response to the Los Angeles protests as “inflammatory,” “reckless” and escalatory.

The riots remain “fiery but mostly peaceful.”

The reason migration has struck such a political nerve is not because of immigration per se, though that has arguably been excessive, but because it is perceived as implemented with malice by the left. It is the malice which is hard to forgive.

The racial group with which Trump has the highest approval rating, at 63 percent, is…Hispanics.

It's ceasing to be a narrative violation that as the salience of deportations increases, his popularity with Hispanics grows.

This is just what they want. https://t.co/QFjtEGNAPx
