A defiant Gov. Gavin Newsom urged Americans to “not give into” President Donald Trump, whom he lambasted as a “dictator” during an address to the public on Tuesday evening, June 10.
And he warned the public that while the president has been focused on sending thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of U.S. Marine members to California, Trump’s actions in California are only the beginning.
“California may be first, but it clearly will not end here,” Newsom said. “Other states will be next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived.”
Newsom accused the president of taking a “wrecking ball” to the federal government and accused Congressional leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, of failing to provide the checks and balances against a president seeking authoritarianism.
Newsom’s address came the same day a federal judge denied the governor’s request for a temporary restraining order to block the Trump administration’s deployment of federalized state National Guard troops and Marines to Southern California.
On Monday, the state sued the Trump administration, arguing that deploying thousands of National Guard troops across California without the consent of the governor of local law enforcement is illegal.
“California will keep fighting,” Newsom said. “We’ll keep fighting on behalf of our people.”
