In response to protests in Los Angeles, President Trump deployed the National Guard, leading California Governor Gavin Newsom to criticize how troops were treated. Newsom shared photos on social media that purportedly showed soldiers sleeping on floors without food or water. However, social media users claimed the images were from previous events, notably the Afghanistan withdrawal under Biden. This sparked a complicated narrative about troop welfare, misinformation, and differing political agendas.
The San Francisco Chronicle published that dozens of soldiers deployed to Los Angeles lacked adequate sleeping arrangements, with an unnamed source corroborating the claims.
Newsom posted photos on X showing National Guard troops sleeping on the floor, accusing Trump of sending them without essential resources like food and water.
