"Trump’s activation of the California National Guard is the first time a president has done so without a request from a state’s governor since 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to Alabama to protect civil rights demonstrators.
During his first term in office, Trump suggested shooting protesters to quell dissent, according to his former secretary of defense, Mark Esper. “The president was enraged,” Esper recalled, amid the strife following George Floyd’s murder in 2020. “He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak and ‘us’ meant him.” Esper said that Trump looked to the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and said, “’Can’t you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?’” Esper characterized it as “a suggestion and a formal question.”
During the last presidential campaign, Trump promised he would crack down on protests with troops. “You’re supposed to not be involved in that, you just have to be asked by the governor or the mayor to come in — the next time, I’m not waiting,” he said."

In a bold move, President Donald Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to address ongoing immigration protests. Opposing this action, Governor Gavin Newsom criticized it as inflammatory and counterproductive. This decision raises legal questions about federalizing troops without state orders, with troops expected to assist ICE. The implications echo historical uses of the National Guard.
