California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was acting “deranged” over his threat to deploy active-duty Marines to the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.
“The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens,” Newsom wrote on X. “This is deranged behavior.”
Newsom was responding to Hegseth’s post on Saturday, in which the defense secretary wrote that the Pentagon is mobilizing the National Guard to respond to anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and warned that active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton may also be deployed “if violence continues.”
“Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE,” Hegseth wrote. “The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.” More here
