California Clashes with Trump Over National Guard Deployment: Is it Political Theater or Public Safety? Governor Newsom slams Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles as a costly political stunt, sticking California taxpayers with a $120 million bill. With troops picking up trash instead of fighting crime, critics question the true purpose of the deployment, while a federal judge blocks their involvement in immigration arrests. Now, Newsom is fighting to stop the extension of the deployment through the November election, calling it a wasteful burden on service members and taxpayers alike. Meanwhile, D.C. leaders are battling similar deployments, arguing the show of force is more about optics than genuine public safety.
