House speaker Johnson on LA protests

House Speaker Mike Johnson says Los Angeles Governor Gavin Newsom needs to do his job. This comes as Anti-Ice protestors continue to fill the streets of LA. Protests continue in Los Angeles in reaction to harsh immigration enforcement by ICE. Although they began peacefully, the demonstrations have grown more intense, with some incidents of property damage, objects being thrown at police, and officers responding with tear gas and flashbangs. In reaction, President Donald Trump sent over 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the city. Gavin Newsom calling out the President saying the deployment is a waste. In statement put put out on X Newsome said this: I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A. The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego. This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.
