In a dramatic clash, Donald Trump accused California Governor Gavin Newsom of launching a ‘crass political stunt’ with his lawsuit against federal troop deployments in LA. Newsom’s suit aims to halt the military’s assistance in immigration raids, arguing it violates state sovereignty.
This controversy comes after Trump ordered over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines into Los Angeles to manage escalating protests. Newsom has expressed that this use of troops is unconstitutional and harmful to the state’s autonomy.
“It would be constitutionally anathema. And it would be dangerous,” said a Trump administration official.
REACTION: Celebrities and influencers have weighed in, with many supporting Newsom’s position and criticizing Trump for what they deem an overreach of power. Public outcry continues as the situation unfolds.
