California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom can't stop whining after he lost control of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas to violent, anti-American mobs Saturday – mobs he and his political party have enabled through sanctuary policies in the state.
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close…
As chaos continued into the night, Newsom accused President Donald Trump of wanting to create a "spectacle" by sending in the National Guard. He also had the nerve to lecture about "civility" and is still defending the criminal aliens Immigration and Customs Enforcement are trying to deport.
The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

Then he complained about a threat from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth if things didn't quickly get under control.
The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens.

This is deranged behavior.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration isn't backing down and has made clear deportations of illegal aliens, which the majority of the country supports, will continue.
"These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED. Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!" Trump said on Truth Social Sunday.
"We are not stopping or slowing down. We are not intimidated or apprehensive. Illegal immigration operations will continue, and anyone using violence to obstruct or impede these operations will be investigated and prosecuted," Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino added on X. "Multiple arrests have already been made, in both LA and NY, and additional investigations are ongoing, and producing results."
"Many of these subjects will face federal charges, along with local and state charges. It will not end well for you if you choose violence. Choose wisely," he continued.
"Gov. Newsom is an embarrassment to this state," says Border Czar Tom Homan.

"If he cared about public safety in the state of California, he would not have a sanctuary for criminals — where criminals get released to the streets of this state every day because of his policies." pic.twitter.com/KLTujmgmfN
Editor's Note: President Trump isn't going to allow lawlessness to reign in America. We will not have a repeat of 2020's "Summer of Love."
