A dramatic and rarely seen in maneuver, former President Donald Trump seized federal control over the state military forces of California to push soldiers in the country’s second largest city Los Angeles. This unprecedented action described by American media such as the first step in decades has ignited terrible criticism and political dispute.
Governor Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, slammed the decision as a “purposeful inflammatory”, warning that it threatens the traditional balance between the state and the federal rights. The governor’s sharp rebuke has focused on the tension on the controller of military forces within the states – and why this Shakti struggle is more than ever.
The purpose of federal deployment is to remove safety concerns, but many see it as a stimulating step that can already swell instead of calming the unstable condition. As the nation looks closely, this bold federal intervention is an important moment in the ongoing debate on the rights and federal power of the state.
