Trump Ends Brief Truce With California Over Sending Troops to Border

Trump says California governor not watching out for 'safety and security' of California residents

President Trump on Tuesday ended his brief détente with Gov. Jerry Brown over sending National Guard troops to the border, slamming Brown's attempt to limit what the troops would do as a sign that he and other California Democrats aren't interested in the "safety and security" of its residents.

Brown late last week said he would agree to send 400 National Guard troops to the border but conditioned his commitment on his state's troops having nothing to do with immigration enforcement, even in a supporting role.

The Trump administration and Brown have since been negotiating exactly what role the troops would serve. Those negotiations hit a snag Monday with administration officials arguing that California officials were insisting on severe limitations to the tasks that the troops would be allowed to perform.

"Looks like Jerry Brown and California are not looking for safety and security along their very porous Border," Trump tweeted Tuesday. "He cannot come to terms for the National Guard to patrol and protect the Border. The high crime rate will only get higher. Much wanted Wall in San Diego already started!"
