Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo we have a post of Democrats responses to the Federal takeover of CA...? (Not just Newsom...?)
I dont have the cable news so I am just seeing bits and pieces on social media...
I saw the Union President Huerta was released.
But have any other Dems said anything...? How about other Blue State governors? I know that there's also ICE protests in Houston and other places...where's the noise?
Is everyone just waiting till Saturday 6/14...?
Is there a thread I missed somewhere?

(11,826 posts)DGA Chair Governor Laura Kelly, DGA Vice Chair Governor Andy Beshear, Governor Tony Evers, Governor Bob Ferguson, Governor Josh Green, Governor Maura Healey, Governor Katie Hobbs, Governor Kathy Hochul, Governor Tina Kotek, Governor Ned Lamont, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor Dan McKee, Governor Matt Meyer, Governor Janet Mills, Governor Wes Moore, Governor Phil Murphy, Governor Jared Polis, Governor JB Pritzker, Governor Josh Shapiro, Governor Josh Stein, Governor Tim Walz, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer released the following statement:
President Trumps move to deploy Californias National Guard is an alarming abuse of power. Governors are the Commanders in Chief of their National Guard and the federal government activating them in their own borders without consulting or working with a states governor is ineffective and dangerous.
Further, threatening to send the U.S. Marines into American neighborhoods undermines the mission of our service members, erodes public trust, and shows the Trump administration does not trust local law enforcement.
Its important we respect the executive authority of our countrys governors to manage their National Guards and we stand with Governor Newsom who has made it clear that violence is unacceptable and that local authorities should be able to do their jobs without the chaos of this federal interference and intimidation.
