What happened
In the same post he directed Homeland Security, the Pentagon and the Justice Department to 'liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion.' He had ordered 2,000 California National Guard troops federalized over Gov. Gavin Newsom's objection, and about 700 Marines were mobilized days later. Hours after the post he called protesters 'troublemakers and insurrectionists.' Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta sued over the deployment.
