Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, June 07, 2025

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the federal government is moving to deploy the California National Guard in response to protests in Los Angeles over immigration operations that have resulted in some clashes between demonstrators and authorities. "The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers," Newsom posted on social media. "That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions." Newsom said local California authorities don't need the help. "LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice," Newsom said. "We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need." Protests occurred Saturday in the city of Paramount, following reports of an immigration raid occurring at that location. However, Paramount Mayor Peggy Lemons later said during a news conference that agents were staging, not conducting a raid.

Those protests followed demonstrations Friday that came in the wake of immigration enforcement operations across the city. Federal agents raided multiple workplaces in the fashion district and other local areas on Friday, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, leading to hundreds of people, including children, being detained by ICE agents on Friday at the Edward Roybal Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles, the ACLU said.

Newsom is trying to be the perfect moderate candidate for 2028.

Unfortunately for him, no one wants another Clinton Democrat, and a California Democrat is a hard sell to the majority of Americans.

Trump is ginning up a Civil War/Race War in LA... next up is his declaring Marital Law.

He's the new Charles Manson.

Sir Gracie spelled Trump wrong. The lies never stop with the MAGA't crowd.
