what's going on with the national guard in LA? Like, I get that there were protests and all but it seems like a big deal for the feds to just take control of it . And now they're saying the protesters are a rebellion? That doesn't make sense at all . The judge is right though, this does feel like an overreach by the Trump admin . California should be able to handle its own guard without the feds breathing down their necks . I'm just glad the governor can get his state back under control now . And what's with all the immigration stuff? Can't we just have a civil discussion about it without someone trying to take over the national guard?
This is just wild, you guys! Like, what's next? The feds gonna take control of every state's guard like they're playing some kinda power game . Newsom's got this one right on the money too, it's all about states rights and not letting the exec branch run amok . But for real though, 4k troops just deployed to LA over immigration raids? That's some serious overreach . Can't even imagine what would've happened if Newsom hadn't pushed back . This is a big win for him, and I gotta say, it's about time someone stood up to the Trump admin
Ugh I'm so glad this judge stepped in! This is just ridiculous - the feds thinking they can just swoop in and take control of the National Guard? It's like, hello, the state has the right to govern itself, not some overzealous admin trying to muscle in. California is already dealing with enough from Trump's policies, I don't need the feds messing with our national guard too! The fact that they even tried to claim it was a rebellion just shows how thin their excuses are... Glad Gavin Newsom is holding strong and pushing back against this nonsense. Now let's hope they keep the National Guard under California's control and not some federal puppeteer
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this . So we're saying that a judge can just step in and tell the feds they can't control the California National Guard? Like, what's next? The governor gets to decide how many police officers are on the streets or something? Just kidding, but seriously, it does seem a bit weird that the federal government would try to take over the state's military forces like that. I mean, aren't they supposed to be, you know, loyal only to the US, not some dude in Washington? And what about all those people who protested against immigration raids - shouldn't we have some kind of balance between keeping the peace and respecting individual rights?
I'm getting so tired of these federal judges making decisions that feel like they're supposed to be on our side . I mean, who needs California's national guard being controlled by the feds in the first place? It just feels like another example of the Trump admin trying to do whatever they want without anyone stopping them.
And can we talk about how convoluted this whole situation is? The judge basically said that the protests over immigration raids weren't a rebellion, but I guess that's not good enough for the feds. Like, what even constitutes a rebellion anymore? It's just another way to give the state governments a hard time.
It's also kinda weird that they had to go to court to figure this out. Can't we just trust our elected officials to do their jobs instead of having to jump through hoops and make appeals? I'm starting to think that's just how the system is designed now - for everyone to be on edge, waiting for someone else to tell them what's going on .
