California Gov. Gavin Newsom has formally requested that the Trump Administration remove the National Guard from L.A.. The soldiers’ insertion into the city was a retaliatory measure made by the President late Saturday night in response to ongoing protests against city-wide raids by U.

California officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, have described the move as "unnecessary".

Governor Gavin Newsom said the U.S. President “manufactured” the chaos in Los Angeles to distract from challenges and seize power.
