Governor Newsom Slams Trump’s Troop Deployment to Los Angeles as ‘Reckless Escalation’

California Governor Gavin Newsom has sharply criticized President Trump’s decision to deploy U.S. Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles, labeling the move a “reckless escalation” that has only worsened tensions in the region. Newsom warned that the militarized response threatens to inflame an already volatile situation and called for a more measured, community-based approach to restoring order and addressing the root causes of unrest.
