Let’s be honest about what’s going on in Los Angeles right now: Trump is using the military as his political pawns to inflame tensions he created.

It’s un-American.

Trump’s decision to deploy active-duty troops to intimidate protestors is shameful and excessive.

He’s breaking down the trust between U.S. citizens and our military, putting everyone in danger and demonstrating his complete lack of respect for the U.S. military in the process.

This mobilization of the National Guard and 700 Marines will cost the Department of Defense $134 million. Imagine how many needed services we could provide, like childcare for military children, with that price tag. This is not about the military’s best interest or promoting “law and order,” it’s about chaos and power.

So, I’m calling on Trump and Hegseth to roll back these orders immediately.

Please join me in demanding that Trump and Hegseth rescind the orders federalizing the California National Guard and sending the Marines into Los Angeles. This mobilization is unnecessary, wastes taxpayer dollars and only incites more violence.
