On Monday, Representative Val Hoyle released a statement after President Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard in response to protests in Los Angeles.

Hoyle called the move, “unprecedented”.

Hoyle said, “You don’t send the National Guard into a city unless local leaders and law enforcement ask for it. That didn’t happen here, and it only served to make matters worse”. Hoyle said, “People have every right to peacefully protest the actions of ICE under this administration given the mass overreach and lack of due process” Hoyle said “This militarized response is not about keeping people safe, it’s about control. It should have no place in our democracy”.
