Governors aren't on the same page about the National Guard for "No Kings" protests. They are weighing public safety, and if Trump will step in.
President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guards troops to quell immigration protests in Los Angeles, overriding California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s objections in a rare move.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pledged to carry on with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown despite waves of unrest across the U.S.
Missouri has joined Texas in preemptively activating the state's National Guard ahead of the "No Kings" protests planned at about 2,000 sites across the nation on June 14 against President Donald Trump. Both Republican-led states followed Trump's lead after he tapped the California National Guard to respond to protests in Los Angeles.
The demonstrations come on the heels of protests flaring up around the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.
Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration on Saturday rallied in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, with thousands demonstrating in Northern California.
