Read Gov. Brown's full letter below.
Dear Secretary Nielsen and Secretary Mattis:
Pursuant to your request, the California National Guard will accept federal funding to add approximately 400 Guard members statewide to supplement the staffing of its ongoing program to combat transnational crime. This program is currently staffed by 250 personnel statewide, including 55 at the California border.
Your funding for new staffing will allow the Guard to do what it does best: support operations targeting transnational criminal gangs, human traffickers and illegal firearm and drug smugglers along the border, the coast and throughout the state. Combating these criminal threats are priorities for all Americans – Republicans and Democrats. That’s why the state and the Guard have long supported this important work and agreed to similar targeted assistance in 2006 under President Bush and in 2010 under President Obama.
But let’s be crystal clear on the scope of this mission. This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws.
Here are the facts: there is no massive wave of migrants pouring into California. Overall immigrant apprehensions on the border last year were as low as they’ve been in nearly 50 years (and 85 percent of the apprehensions occurred outside of California).
I agree with the Catholic Bishops who have said that local, state and federal officials should “work collaboratively and prudently in the implementation of this deployment, ensuring that the presence of the National Guard is measured and not disruptive to community life.”
I look forward to working with you on this important effort.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.

Yes. He’s going along.
I think Brown considers it calling Trump’s bluff.

Uh... they will do... WeverTF.... we tell them to do and like it.
Let Brown try to pull a fast one, and Trump will federalize the guard in about an hour.
Hey Jerry, they’re coming for your protected class, and there isn’t a damned thing you can do about it, other than earn yourself a federal prison term.
Not tired of winning!

President Trump to Governor Brown: We’ll keep the money and you keep the troops. Next disaster, don’t call.
They can try and use the NG troops against Trump but it will fail because the voters are solidly behind him on shutting down illegal aliens crossing our borders.
He has AGREED to Trumps order to send his troops to border.....FULL STOP!!
The rest of the crap in his response I’d nothing but an attempt to soften the outrage of the looney tunes Liberals in his State which are at this moment in full meltdown mode over Moonbeam acquiescing to this President they so despise.
Evidently Brown gets better legal advice than the governor of Oregon.
BuhLINK
They can act as the supply depot. My dad was in charge of one during WWII in South Pacific. Did much damage to the Japanese via the ground support they did for our troops.
**I agree with the Catholic Bishops**
Church and state, Mrs. Brown? Then why is the State removing crosses? If you’re going to pander, might want to do some discovery first and understand those marching for the border are not all catholics.

Hey, Moonbeam. STFU and send the NG already.
Transvestites?
OMG!
.
LOL!
Moonbeam is recognizing that Trump’s policies have stemmed the flow of illegal immigrants.
Moonbeam knows he cannot win this one; most of the cities and counties in CA are against his immigration policies.

More winning:
It was confirmed that the Little Rock FBI is indeed investigating Cankles. We have a prosecutor. We have OPEN FBI investigations in LA, NY, DC, and Little Rock.

Not even leftists would believe that.
ROFL, it wasn’t a “request”.

Have you driven by Hunter-Leggit?
The troops were already on the way.
