I have formally requested the Trump
Administration rescind their unlawful deployment
of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to
my command.
We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved.
This is a serious breach of state sovereignty —
inflaming tensions while pulling resources from
where they're actually needed.
Rescind the order. Return control to California.

Dear secretory reaselhi
On June 7, 2025, President Trump issued a memorandum to your office
entitled "Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Deportment of

At present. law enforcement authorities from the City and County of Los
Angeles are safeguarding public safety, and, as demonstrated by the robust
law enforcement response yesterday evening to protect federal facilities, local
law enforcement resources are sufficient to maintain order. In dynamic and
