National Guard Deployment to California Sparks Controversy

California Governor Gavin Newsom's office is currently reviewing claims that 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed to Los Angeles without their knowledge or consent. A short video circulating on social media features a young woman who states that President Trump issued a memorandum to deploy the troops to quell protests in immigrant communities. "Trump acaba de llamar ‘invasión’ a nuestras comunidades y mandó 2,000 soldados a Los Ángeles para silenciar las protestas," she says, translating to, "Trump just called our communities an 'invasion' and sent 2,000 soldiers to Los Angeles to silence the protests." Newsom's office has yet to confirm or deny the claims, but this situation highlights the ongoing tensions between the federal government and California regarding immigration policy. The video's accuracy is currently under investigation.
