California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were leading the opposition Sunday to the Trump administration’s decision to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles after two days of protests over federal immigration raids.
Newsom blasted the move in a fundraising email sent out Sunday morning.
“Last night, President Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, using the excuse of protests against his immigration raids. Let me be totally clear about what is happening here. We have been working closely with law enforcement. There is no unmet need. The president is attempting to inflame passions and provoke a response,” Newsom’s email said.
“He would like nothing more than for this provocative show of force — and Pete Hegseth’s absurd threat to deploy United States Marines on American soil — to escalate tensions and incite violence.
“These are not people who have some deep conviction about protecting law enforcement. This is a President who failed to call up the National Guard when it was actually needed — on January 6th — and then pardoned the participants as one of his first acts as president.
“They want a spectacle. They want the violence. They think this is good for them politically. That is why White House aides were posting pictures of Trump getting popcorn last night. This is not the way a civilized country behaves. It is completely deranged behavior.
“To the people of Los Angeles and across the country who are protesting these immigration raids: Don’t give them the spectacle they want. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully and in large numbers. I know many of you have been watching the news about this, so I thought it important to reach out.”
Bass echoed some of those thoughts in an interview with KTLA5.

Trump Always Chickens Out. Remember?
“Never use violence.” Wink, wink...
It's too late for that!
Oh. Wait.
Newsome is burnt toast. Soyboy governor is out of his league.
He never had any serious opposition for any of the offices he has held. He doesn’t know how to govern.
Don’t you just love the fact that a civilized country behaves in a way that allows unlawful migrants to destroy public buildings and attack the agents of law enforcement? If that is how it is going to be then I want to be uncivilized.
Trump DID call up the National Guard on January 6. Milley stopped it in a clear contravention of an order.
He never had any serious opposition for any of the offices he has held. He doesn’t know how to govern.
That's good news. I think he has the potential to get in the White House. But unlike Bill Clinton, he's an idiot.
Bill Clinton had to work with Conservatives in Arkansas and he was able to do that.
But Gavin Newsom never had to work with an opposing political party.
“...National Guard when it was actually needed — on January 6th”
Haven’t seen figures yet, but I’d bet there has been more damage done in L.A. in the last 48 hours than on January 6. Certainly more assaults on L.E.O.s
Uhhhhh...yyyeahhh. I thinks it's a little too late for that, Times of San Diego. 🤔
Do you get the news there in San Diego?
Funny that they don’t accuse Trump of voter suppression. I’m sure they’d like to.
Yeah. Unless you're trying to assassinate a former President who's running to return to office.
[This is a President who failed to call up the National Guard when it was actually needed — on January 6th — and then pardoned the participants as one of his first acts as president.]
WIll the lies never end with these people?
HA! That would be a first.
They can “push back” all they want, but the insurrection act Trump’s posse comitatus.
Well established law. The second the illegal aliens rioted and liberals didn’t stop it, it gave Trump the power he needed.
Shouldn’t her lard a** be in Afrika somewhere buying jewelry and muumuus?
