How come Newsom can’t order the California guard to protect the protestors from ICE?
Isn’t he their commander?
He doesn't want to protect protestors. You're forgetting that he and the mayor are in full control of the police officers that are currently beating protestors to pulp. They are totally on board with what is happening, they just want to be the one in control.
What LAPD is doing needs to be investigated and they need being punished for it, but as of now Newsom doesn't have control over national guard, trump used an obscure law with very weak justification to get control of it.
This is what this lawsuit is about. To get the control back.
