According to Newsom, President Donald J. Trump misused the national guard and federal law enforcement as his “personal police force and political pawns.”
Newsom’s office said it submitted the formal requests for all documents, communications, and records regarding dozens of federal agents outside of public places during an event on Wednesday at the Democracy Center in Los Angeles.
That’s where Newsom announced his plan to hold a special election to get voter approval on redrawn congressional district maps.
According to the Associated Press, an official with Border Patrol said he was unaware that Newsom was holding an event inside the building.
“Trump’s use of the military and federal law enforcement to try to intimidate his political opponents is yet another dangerous step towards authoritarianism,” Newsom said. “Trump is attempting to advance a playbook from the despots he admires in Russia and North Korea. We will not back down in our defense of democratic freedom, and the Trump administration should answer for this pathetic and cowardly behavior.”
