Washington DC – 10 June 2025
1. Cutaway of California Democratic representatives walking out for press conference
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Jimmy Gomez, (D) California:
"We are here not just as Californians, but as Americans who are concerned with the direction of our country. Let me say this. We have laws. We have to go by the laws. We can’t call in the National Guard unless we’re we’re requested by a governor. That’s not those are not my words. Those are the words of Donald Trump in 2020. Today, he’s doing exactly the opposite. He’s deploying National Guard troops and now mobilizing 700 active, active duty Marines into Los Angeles without the consent of the governor or the request of the governor and local law enforcement."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Jimmy Gomez, (D) California:
"The chaos is the bait and the switch is the switch is a constitutional crisis and power grab. Trump created this political distraction to divide us and keep our focus away from his policies that are wreaking havoc on our economy and hurting working families. He’s not keeping us safe. He’s not restoring order. He’s ratcheting up the tension, wishing for it to reach a boiling point point. And we all knew that this day would come. It was just a matter of time. And this isn’t leadership. It’s a deliberate attempt by Trump to incite unrest, test the limits of executive power and distract from the lawlessness of his administration."
++SEPARATED BY BLACK++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Norma Torres, (D) California:
"Bringing the National Guard and the Marines only escalates tensions, turning our neighborhoods into battlegrounds and militarizing our streets is not the answer. It’s not the answer for California, and it’s not the answer for any other state or municipality across the country."
++SEPARATED BY BLACK++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Mike Thompson, (D) California:
"It is unprecedented what this individual’s doing, but it’s exactly what he does best – dividing the people and creating chaos, testing his limits of power, and also diverting attention away from many of the disastrous programs that he’s trying to perpetrate on the people of the United States of America. This has to end. It’s not fair to the military personnel who’ve been called out. It’s certainly not fair to individuals who are peacefully protesting. And peacefully protesting is important."
++SEPARATED BY BLACK++
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Judy Chu, (D) California:
"We are here because we stand with our constituents and immigrant communities across this country. We stand with them to protest peacefully in the streets, as many of them have done. We must put an end to Donald Trump’s inhumane attacks on immigrant communities and on our Constitution."
++SEPARATED BY BLACK++
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Nancy Pelosi, (D) California:
"Something is very wrong with this picture. Inconsistent in his actions, contrary to his own statement that he couldn’t of a year ago, that he couldn’t send anyone in without the governor’s consent, any place, and in violation of the Constitution."
++SEPARATED BY BLACK++
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Rep. Maxine Waters, (D) California:
"The first thing you got to get it in your heads is you cannot believe what the president is telling you. You’ve got to understand that he’s a liar, that he cannot be trusted, that he wants to get the numbers he wants to show MAGA crowd that he’s, in fact, getting the numbers he promised he was going to get to deport people out of the country."
