Gavin Newsom Ready to Call CA National Guard Back from Border

California Governor-elect Gavin Newsom Revealed On Thursday That He Will Call Back The California National Guard From The Border When He Is Sworn Into Office In January.

After visiting the Otay Mesa Detention Center, Newsom said California’s National Guard presence “seems pretty trivial” with 1,800 “military representatives” at the border. Newsom said he would formally make the announcement to call back the National Guard once he becomes governor.

“I have every desire to pull those Guardsmen back and assist in other capacities,” Newsom, the state’s current lieutenant governor, said. “It’s my intention today, but every day conditions change, and so I want to caveat that with that understanding.”

Newsom reminded reporters that he “publicly stated many months ago” that he did not support sending California’s National Guard to the border and added that he did not “fully understand the benefit of our Guard in relation to the military … I see the benefit of that Guard elsewhere.” – READ MORE
