California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned President Trump's deployment of nearly 5,000 troops to Los Angeles, originally intended for protecting federal buildings, now bolstering immigration enforcement efforts. In a public address, Newsom claimed the action constitutes a military dragnet and warned that it signals a troubling trend in federal enforcement operations. His concerns heightened following the observation that National Guard troops are now providing security for immigration agents conducting arrests. Newsom filed an emergency request to block this military involvement, asserting it could provoke unrest and harm community relations.
Trump's deployment of troops in Los Angeles has shifted from protecting federal buildings to assisting in immigration enforcement, raising concerns over civil liberties.
Newsom criticized the military's involvement in immigration operations, emphasizing that it risks escalating tensions and suggests a broader agenda beyond criminal arrests.
