There was plenty of reaction Sunday afternoon from both sides of the aisle following President Donald Trump’s decision overnight to deploy 300 National Guard troops in Los Angeles.
He made the order following clashes between
federal immigration authorities and protesters seeking to block them from carrying out deportations.

That move came over the objections of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who accused Trump of a “complete overreaction.”
It marked the first time in decades that a state’s National Guard was activated without a request from its governor, the Brennan Center for Justice told the AP.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) in an interview Sunday on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” said he was comfortable with the president’s deployment of the National Guard.
He also said that he thinks the activity in Los Angeles is just “the tip of the iceberg” as the Trump administration ramps up deportations.
“It’s tragic to see what’s happening in L.A. I spent 20 years in the military. I fought in two wars. I fought to give people the freedom to protest whatever the hell they want to,” Gonzales said in the interview. “But what we’re seeing in L.A. are not advocates. We’re seeing anarchists, and the president of the United States should absolutely put down the mob as soon as possible. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Republican California Rep. Darell Issa on X on
Saturday evening, “If only Karen Bass fought against the Los Angeles fires like she fights for illegal aliens,” Issa added in another post, referring to the Palisades fire that tore through Southern California in January."
Commentary:
DSA Neo- Marxist Democrats Commies like Sanders, Booker Waters, Barragán. Nass, and Newsom are all part of the mess they've created over the last 5 years and now are doubling down against the efforts to right these wrongs they've helped create.
It's imperative that Trump win this initial battle in L.A.
By doing so it puts all illegal aliens on notice that the U.S. is serious about their deportation and many will begin self deportation.
