Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi is criticizing Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles without Governor Gavin Newsom's consent, calling it a violation of Article 10 of the Constitution.

'Coup In USA'? California Sues Trump For Sending 2,700 U.S National Guards and Marines

In a stunning escalation, President Trump has ordered 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines into Los Angeles—overriding Governor Newsom’s authority and prompting California to file suit against what AG Rob Bonta calls a “deranged” and unconstitutional power grab. As protests over immigration raids enter their fourth day, the state accuses the White House of manufacturing chaos for political gain, while Trump doubles down, warning that demonstrators will be “hit harder than ever.” This showdown pits federal might against a Democratic governor and raises urgent questions about who truly controls America’s military forces on home soil. #TrumpTroops #CaliforniaLawsuit #NewsomVsTrump #MilitaryPowerGrab #NatGuard #MarinesInLA #ImmigrationProtests #InsurrectionAct #USPolitics #BreakingNews #CivilLiberties #LAUnrest ~PR.274~ED.103~HT.336~
