Trump threatens to pull funding for California National Guard deployment<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

President Donald Trump lashed out at California Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday, insisting that his administration won’t pay for the state’s National Guard deployment unless the troops help enforce US immigration laws at the border.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Governor Jerry Brown announced he will deploy ‘up to 400 National Guard Troops’ to do nothing,” Trump tweeted. “The crime rate in California is high enough, and the Federal Government will not be paying for Governor Brown’s charade. We need border security and action, not words!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Later Thursday, Trump tweeted more about immigration policy.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sanctuary Cities released at least 142 Gang Members across the United States, making it easy for them to commit all forms of violent crimes where none would have existed. We are doing a great job of law enforcement, but things such as this make safety in America difficult!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump’s tweets comes less than 24 hours after Brown, a Democrat, agreed to send more National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border. Brown said that the mission would be limited.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Let’s be crystal clear on the scope of this mission,” Brown said. “This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life. And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Later Thursday, the California National Guard tweeted that it had received confirmation that morning that the Pentagon will continue its funding, adding, “In short, nothing has changed today.”<\/span><\/p>\n

rump’s comments seemingly contradict an earlier tweet from Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Just spoke w @JerryBrownGov about deploying the @USNationalGuard in California,” Nielsen wrote on Wednesday. “Final details are being worked out but we are looking forward to the support. Thank you Gov Brown!”<\/span><\/p>\n
