California governor says Trump 'deranged' as thousands more troops sent to LA
Published: 6/10/2025

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticizes President Trump's decision to send additional troops to Los Angeles, calling it "deranged" and likening it to a dictatorship. Amid chaotic protests against immigration raids, 700 Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops have been deployed to help restore order. The standoff in LA is the first time since 1965 that such a deployment has occurred without the governor's approval, sparking legal challenges and concerns about overreaching federal authority in domestic law enforcement matters.
