The Californer/10316222

~ In a recent development, all Democratic governors have come together to denounce President Trump's actions to militarize California. This united stance comes after the President's decision to deploy the state's National Guard, which has been deemed as an alarming abuse of power.

The Democratic Governors Association released a statement expressing their concerns over the federal government's interference in state matters. They emphasized that governors are the Commanders in Chief of their National Guard and any activation of troops within their borders should be done in consultation with them. The association also highlighted the danger and ineffectiveness of deploying troops without working with local authorities.

Furthermore, the association criticized President Trump's threat to send U.S. Marines into American neighborhoods, stating that it undermines the mission of service members and erodes public trust. They also pointed out that this move shows a lack of trust in local law enforcement.

The association stood in solidarity with Governor Gavin Newsom, who has made it clear that violence is unacceptable and local authorities should be able to do their jobs without federal interference or intimidation. This united front from Democratic governors adds to the growing chorus of elected officials across California and the nation speaking out against this federal overreaction.

In response to these developments, Governor Newsom issued a statement condemning the federal government's actions. He expressed his disappointment at being disregarded by President Trump and stated that there were no unmet law enforcement needs at the time of deployment. The governor also highlighted his belief in peaceful protests and criticized the federal government for taking over the California National Guard without consulting him.

This sentiment was echoed in another statement by Governor Newsom regarding the federal government's intent to deploy troops. He reiterated his stance on respecting executive authority and expressed concern over this takeover, which he believes will only add chaos to an already tense situation.

As tensions continue to rise in California, it is clear that both Governor Newsom and other Democratic governors stand united against what they see as a chaotic and inflammatory federal takeover of the California National Guard. They are calling for peaceful protests and for local authorities to be allowed to do their jobs without interference from the federal government.
