The former active vice chief of the National Guard Bureau condemned President Donald Trump's "inappropriate" deployment of troops to the Los Angeles protests on Sunday.
Major General Randy E. Manner released a statement to Fox News in which he criticized Trump for ignoring California Gov. Gavin Newsom's formal request that the administration rescind its "unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county." Newsom added that the federal government was "inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed."
