Gavin Newsom is waging a bitter war for control of Los Angeles as the Democrat California governor is demanding Donald Trump call off the National Guard as they deal with unruly protesters.
Trump issued an extraordinary directive on Sunday after the National Guard was forced to step in amid mounting civil unrest and pro-migrant riots throughout California.
The president has said he is going to 'liberate Los Angeles' from illegal aliens which have 'invaded and occupied a once great American city.'
Newsom - who has been sniping with Trump and Pete Hegseth all weekend - is attempting to wrangle back control in a formal request to the Defense Secretary sent Sunday.
'This is a serious breach of state sovereignty - inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed,' Newsom said in a statement to X, calling the deployment 'unlawful.'
'Rescind the order. Return control to California.'
He also claimed that the state 'didn't have a problem until Trump got involved.'
In the letter to Hegseth, Newsom claims 'there is no need for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles, and to do so in this unlawful manner and for such a lengthy period is a serious breach of state sovereignty that seems intentionally designed to inflame the situation.'

She means that sending illegals home is tearing families apart.
100% hate-America commie!
Democrats are the ones inflaming tensions.
They’re encouraging the lawbreaking.
They’re projecting, as usual.
Mayor Bass and Newsome are literally fanning the flames for these riots. The NG is not the problem. California has had rotten leadership long before Donald Trump came along.
In my opinion, President was concerned about protecting federal properties in Downtown Los Angeles...He probably did not believe that Mayor Bass or Governor Newsom would do anything to help protect federal property...
I think that Mayor Bass does not want LAPD officers standing outside the federal building, dealing with protestors...Governor Newsom also probably does not want to order CHP officers to protect federal property...Bass and Newsom do not want the liberals to get angry with them for "helping" President Trump...
Thus, President had no choice..
I do not know what Newsom and Bass are thinking when they accusing President of making the situation "worse"...Thugs decided to destroy some cars because they were not able to attack the federal building? Are they implying that thugs should have been able to attack the federal building?
Yes. He is trying to shift the blame to Trump after he allowed the situation to get out of control.
He ia trying to cloak his cowardice, stupidity, and bitchiness under the guise of a higher morality.
it is unbelievable how many hateful, disgusting and anti-American evil scum are out there.
This is beginning to look like a repeat of Charlottesville and Baltimore riots. Let things get out of control in democrat cities then flip the narrative. The democrats have nothing so they create same old playbook.
They can do that but the difference is that this time they do not have control of the narrative. It won't help them in 2028, especially Gavin Newsom.
Of course the riots are out of control...what do you expect...everything about California is out of control.
They need to create a violence against the police narrative that is the old playbook. The red flag is waving at the bull to create the clash for what we all know is coming.Every summer the Soros encampments need a gathering spot CA and imigration is the 2025 all call the tents are coming out of basement heading for CA for 2025 Soros Summer of love.
Let’s see how quick he is to demand federal money to rebuild. Prick.
EC
Wonder haw many rape reports will reported this week?.
Newsom and Bass and Schiff are enablers and the rioters who see them know these three are strongly on their side so they can do more harm.
The illegal alien who killed Kate Steinle had been deported and returned five times said: “I chose to go to San Francisco because it’s a sanctuary city and I knew nothing would happen to me there.”
I think they call it ‘sexually challenged partnership intercourse’.
Yes some don’t get to live through it.
Well, it was a bad joke, I admit.
