We won in court and forced him to. Trump's rambling here is the political version of you can't fire me, I quit. About time @realDonaldTrump admitted defeat, said Newsom. We've said it from day one: the federal takeover of California's National Guard is illegal."
"The President deployed these brave men and women against their own communities and without regard for the constitution and federal law. We welcome our California National Guard servicemembers back to state service, where they can continue to serve and protect the people of California long delayed due to Trump's political theater. I direct California National Guard leadership to work expeditiously to return state service members home to be with their families as soon as possible following their demobilization"
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the National Guard would be withdrawn from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland and suggested they would return if crime rose. California officials said the troop removals were the result of court rulings and not the president's unilateral decision. The Governor's press office said they 'won in court and forced him to.' Governor Gavin Newsom called the federal deployment illegal, said troops were used against their communities without regard for the Constitution and federal law, and ordered California National Guard leadership to expedite returning demobilized servicemembers to state service and their families.
