Abel Maldonado: Trump Did What He Had to Do, He Didn’t Trust Newsom and Bass to Protect ICE
EXCERPT:
MALDONADO: “At the end of the day, Abby, all I can say is that we have 11 million people that came into America illegally. We don‘t know who they are. We don‘t know where they came from. There‘s a lot of them in California. Californians, I haven‘t had anybody come up to me and say, 'Get the National Guard out of here.' Nobody in California is saying that. They want to be safe. And to have President Trump send the National Guard, at the end of the day, it‘s a message that he didn‘t trust — he didn‘t trust Karen Bass and he didn‘t trust Gavin Newsom to operate independently and to protect his troops, ICE agents, federal buildings and so forth. So he did what he had to do. And I think Californians support that, to be very sincere. Abby. Angelenos support that. I don‘t hear anybody saying, 'Get out of here.'"
