“I just can’t take this complicity. People rolling over. I should’ve brought up a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.”
— Governor Newsom (California)

“They're laughing at him, meanwhile they're sucking up to him. It's embarrassing. I mean, this is... you're modeling behavior for our kids, generations of folks. This is not diplomacy”
The proposal being evaluated now would allow the president to mobilize #troops & put them on #Title32 orders in a #state experiencing unrest. The documents detailing the plan acknowledge the potential for #political friction should the #governor refuse to work with the #Pentagon.
Some #legal scholars expressed apprehension about the proposal.
[I should think!]

The other kind, #Title32, is a #federal - #state status where #troops are controlled by their state #governor but federally funded. It also allows more latitude to participate in law enforcement missions. #NationalGuard troops from other states arrived in DC under such circumstances during racial justice #protests in 2020.

There were numerous scenes of protesters throwing rocks or other objects at law enforcement officers & setting cars ablaze, including a number of self-driving #Waymo taxis. At the same time, false images spread to revive old #ConspiracyTheories that the #protests were a planned provocation, not a spontaneous response to the #immigration raids.

The confrontation escalated on Monday as new #protests occurred & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth announced—on X—that he was mobilizing 700 #Marines from a base near #LosAngeles to guard federal bldgs. They are expected to join 2k members of the #California#NationalGuard whom #Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the #state’s #governor, #GavinNewsom, who normally [legally] has command of the #troops.
