The California governor said the troops had been left without food or water in federal buildings
Hundreds of National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles under Donald Trump’s orders are reportedly idle and without clear directives, California Gov. Gavin Newsom revealed, calling the situation a political stunt.
The controversy stems from Trump’s decision to send 2,000 Guard troops to Los Angeles over the weekend in response to protests against aggressive ICE operations. On Monday, Newsom said he was informed another 2,000 were en route, even though most of the first wave had not been mobilized.
Only about 300 have been actively deployed, while the rest remained in federal buildings “without orders,” according to Newsom. The governor said the troops had been left without food or water, and accused the White House of misusing military resources to bolster Trump’s image.
Respond to these events when the governor orders them to. The governor has not ordered them to deploy.

There is a long and storied history of federalizing the National Guard.
And there are laws in place to allow it.

But once again… This is not up to the Joe (the rank and file member of the military) to discern.
Edit: No offense to anyone… but it’s clear that none of you have served in any military capacity. Nor have any meaningful knowledge of how any of it works.
