Federal agents clashed with protesters near a detention center in downtown Los Angeles, causing the conflict to stretch on the third day, ordering President Donald Trump to deploy around 300 National Guard troops and Pentagon chief Peter Hegses, threatening to threaten already wary active duty troops.

No demand from the governor

California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the decision “inflammatory on purpose.” he Posted on x Trump said, “Not because there’s a shortage of law enforcement, not because they want spectacles, don’t give it to them. Don’t use violence, don’t talk to peace.” Governor. I wrote it again Trump’s attempt to militarize California is “a surprising abuse of power.” Newsam I said it again Hegzes’ threat to dispatch active staff was “crazy behaviour.”
In response to Trump’s proposal to refund California, Newsom said his state would stop paying federal taxes. Californians pay the bill to the federal government.

We’re not going to tear our country apart as we are under Biden.” He warned that California officials blocking deportation will face accusations, but apparently When a mob of violent protesters stormed Congress on January 6, 2020, he refused to send troops.
in Sunday’s StatementHomeland Security Advisor Tricia McLaughlin has accused California politicians and protesters of “advocating for violent, illegal alien criminals at the expense of American safety.”
“Does Governor Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass care more about violent murderers and sex offenders than they protect their citizens?” she said. “These mobs in Los Angeles are fighting to keep rapists, murderers and other violent criminals relaxing on Los Angeles Street. Instead of riots, they should wake up every day and thank ice officers every day to make their community safer.”
“I’m deeply angry,” says La Mayor.
