Former governors
We will not participate in abuses of power. We will not violate court orders. We will not ignore the Constitution.
It is wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city, over the objection of local law enforcement.
This is a flagrant abuse of power and nothing short of an assault on our American values.
As we speak, an American city has been militarized over the objections of their governor.
Turns out, chasing hard working people through ranches and farms and snatching women and children off the streets is not good policy.
The minute you cross into attacking law enforcement, any type of rioting, any type of vandalism, looting, just be prepared to have the law come down on you.
Public land is an incredible asset on America's balance sheet that could be used to solve our nation's affordable housing crisis.
It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active-duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.
Let me be clear, we expect the federal government to follow the law, too.
Our nation needs secure borders. Our nation needs comprehensive immigration reform from this body.
New York has managed an unprecedented immigrant influx because of a broken border.
It's the federal government's job to secure the border.
Nothing Minnesota has done to serve its own people stands in the way of the federal government managing border security and policies.
Clearly there's no invasion, there's no rebellion, it's absurd.
Today is a big day for the Constitution of the United States, for our democracy.
The National Guard will be redeployed to what they were doing before Donald Trump commandeered them.
California may be first – but it clearly won’t end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next.
Federal troops be immediately removed from the city.
Trump is not a monarch and should stop acting like one.
'If you are driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.'
