    Gavin Newson specifically said that he did not ask for or need the 2,000 troops and that sending to LA would only make things worse.

    Sooo, there’s that.

      Legally I believe the National Guard must be mobilized for a legal reason and until Trump has identified an actual cause, he cannot mobilize them himself. So Newson should just order them to stand down.

      Newson hasn’t done that though.
