Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Newsom Slams Trump's 'Deranged' Response as Thousands of Troops Sent to LA
Caption: Newsom Slams Trump’s ‘Deranged’ Response as Thousands of Troops Sent to LA. Amid ongoing protests against immigration raids, President Donald Trump’s administration has sent thousands of additional troops to Los Angeles, escalating tensions. Over 700 US Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops have been deployed to help control the unrest, which has spread to other cities. California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the move, calling it the fulfillment of a “deranged fantasy” from a dictatorial president. The state has filed a lawsuit against Trump for sending troops without the governor’s approval, marking the first time since 1965 that a president has deployed National Guard troops to a US city without such consent. The Trump administration has not yet invoked the Insurrection Act, which would allow the troops to engage in direct civilian law enforcement.
