Newsom Claims Trump 'Chose Theatrics over Safety' in Deploying National Guard to LA
- On June 10, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom publicly accused President Trump of deliberately escalating tensions and unrest during anti-ICE demonstrations taking place in downtown Los Angeles by sending troops to the area.
- The protests began after ICE raids on Monday in Los Angeles businesses and escalated when Trump sent 2,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines against local objections.
- Thousands of demonstrators gathered at the federal building, protesters briefly blocked the 101 Freeway, and violence broke out in Los Angeles and Paramount amid ongoing arrests and property damage.
- Newsom called the deployment a “blatant abuse of power” and sued to stop it, while a federal judge blocked his restraining order; Trump called the protests a “full-blown assault on peace.”
- The events deepened clashes between California and the Trump administration, suggesting possible further use of military forces in future state unrest and ongoing resistance from local leaders.
