Surprisingly enough, the Trump-triggered and defiant governor of the state loaded with sanctuary cities has accepted the president’s request (and federal check) to activate National Guard troops intended for use at the border. The catch though is that Gov. Jerry Brown made it known that the Guard troops wouldn’t be allowed to do much of anything the Trump administration wants:
California agrees to deploy 400 National Guard troops “statewide” at Pres. Trump's request. They "will not be enforcing federal immigration laws," Gov. Jerry Brown says.

Gov. Brown says CA will accept fed $ to send 400 Natl Guard to border. "This will not be a mission to build a new wall. It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life."

State officials say this total won’t al be at the border, will be on coast and at other places in support of needs on the ground. https://t.co/Nv4281rxHv

And let’s not kid ourselves — if Jerry Brown could send the National Guard to the border and order them to help illegals carry their luggage from Mexico into the U.S., he’d do it before you could say “bullet train to nowhere.”
Trump should demand the money back.
