Sending troops into cities when they don’t need troops is a tool Hitler used when seizing power. Also persistently telling the public they are in danger when they are not. Seizing people on the streets to cause intimidation & fear

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including:

BREAKING
The administration of California Governor Gavin Newsom is asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind his order and return the National Guard to the control of the State of California.
The administration of California Governor Gavin Newsom is asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind his order and return the National Guard to the control of the State of California.
![Guard into Federal Service,
" which states that "[t]wo thousand members of the
California National Guard will be called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days." Notably, this directive did not issue
"through the governorl] of the State[l" as required by section 12406; the Department of Defense did not transmit this directive to the Office of the Governor, nor was it approved or ordered by the Governor of California. This directive is also inconsistent with the President's memorandum, which anticipates "coordination] with the Governors of the States" in identifying and ordering units of the National Guard into federal service.
At present, law enforcement authorities from the City and County of Los
Angeles are safeguarding public safety, and, as demonstrated by the robust law enforcement response yesterday evening to protect federal facilities, local law enforcement resources are sufficient to maintain order. In dynamic and fluid situations such as the one in Los Angeles, State and local authorities are the most appropriate ones to evaluate the need for resources to safeguard life ano property. Indeed, the decision to deploy the National Guard, without appropriate training or orders, risks seriously escalating the situation.
There is currently no need for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles, and to do so in this unlawful manner and for such a lengthy period is a serious breach of state sovereignty that seems intentionally designed to inflame the situation, while simultaneously depriving the State from deploying these personnel and resources where they are truly required. Accordingly, we ask that you immediately rescind your order and return the National Guard to its rightful control by the State of California, to be deployed as appropriate when necessary.
Sincerely,
Saud of
David Sapp
Legal Affairs Secretary
Office of Governor Gavin Newsom
