Newsom requests Trump admin return National Guard control to California
California Governor Gavin Newsom has been critical of President Donald Trump's move to take control of and deploy the National Guard.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has formally requested Trump administration officials to rescind the order to deploy the National Guard and return control of the force to California, calling the initial order unlawful and "intentionally designed to inflame the situation."
"I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command," Newsom wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "We 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."

Send state troopers after the national guard. Nothing matters anymore. Form a california militia, fuck all. Send a message to the gangs that they won't prosecute crimes against the national guard because this is self-defense.
The national guard is the state's militia.
Not quite, I'm related to someone in my States guard and they focus more on humanitarian efforts and disaster response but they are trained as a militia and under the governor's command separate from the national guard
Okay, well I can do you one better. I was in the Air National Guard myself. The NG and ANG are most definitely state militias.
Not when it's been federalized.
No, the state guard is the state's militia.
Start emergency roadwork right outside ICE facilities.
Great way to start civil war.
That would incite civil war.
What's your alternative? Roll over and let them win?
Yeah why incite a civil war, just ignore the invasion and let them win without resistance /s
