Trump's border czar has said the National Guard is mobilizing to enter the city of Los Angeles within hours amid tense standoffs between protesters and ICE agents.
The dramatic move by the Trump administration came amid rising tensions between locals and immigration authorities as raids targeting illegal migrants take place at businesses across the city.
'We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight,' Tom Homan, President Trump's point man on border security, said on Fox News on Saturday evening.
'We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor (Karen) Bass should be thanking us.'
But California Governor Gavin Newsom suggested the Trump administration was deliberately inflaming the situation and sending the National Guard would only make matters worse.
'The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions,' Newsom tweeted.
'LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need. The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.'
Minutes later, Trump himself warned Newsom and Mayor Bass to take charge of the situation in a post on his Truth Social.
'If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!', Trump wrote.
Federal agents clashed with angry protestors in the Los Angeles area for a second day Saturday, shooting flash-bang grenades into the crowd just after 4pm, shutting part of a freeway amid raids on undocumented migrants.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Be sweet if it turns out like Kent State!
Not the NG, send in an active army infantry division. Or at least a brigade.
Epic.

Anyone not getting on board will have to run against this, in particular, Gavin.
If he doesn’t get involved on the right side he will be known as Gavin Neutered and the rest of country will be given his current statements,
Not good for his ambitions....

Hmmm. Who would have known
Pete Hegseth has placed the Marines at Camp Pendleton on high alert.
He better get them out there now because someone is reporting that they are are setting brushfires.
Brush fires. Yeah, that will make us want to keep the illegals here.
This country has gone totally insane.
I saw some fires in the videos. Mostly cars and trash set on fire.
I’m waiting for them to set the woods on fire, you know that will happen next.
“We left the place we came from, which is SO much better than here, but we don’t want to go back there. And we’ll wave that country’s flag, CERTAINLY not the US flag, which we hate and burn. And if you try to send us back to the place we came from, which is so much better than here, we will attack you, burn stuff, and be hateful and violent and insulting so we get to stay. We want to live with you in this racist evil hellhole, but we hate your guts and think we’re better than you.”
Make it make sense.
Well, one positive from all the rioting; we have had a day free of Pride news.
