Virginia鈥檚 Governor and Attorney General are Wrong to Support President Trump鈥檚 Unlawful Deployment of the Military in Los Angeles
RICHMOND, Va. 鈥� In response to Virginia Governor Youngkin鈥檚 comments and Virginia Attorney General Miyares鈥� signature on a letter supporting President Trump鈥檚 unlawful actions in Los Angeles, 红杏视频 of Virginia Executive Director Mary Bauer released the following statement:
鈥淚t is shameful that Virginia鈥檚 governor would make comments 鈥� and Virginia鈥檚 attorney general would sign on to a letter 鈥� extoling the president鈥檚 unlawful deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles. With more than one million immigrants and the second-highest number of active-duty personnel in the country, Virginians know better than most what an abuse of power it is to weaponize the military against people standing in solidarity with immigrants.
鈥淧resident Trump鈥檚 despotic actions in Los Angeles are a clear and present threat to the civil liberties, democratic norms, and freedom and safety of every person in this country, and Virginia鈥檚 leaders are wrong to support his attempt to violently crush dissent.鈥�
