“Gov. Gavin Newsom made the case in a televised address Tuesday evening that President Trump’s decisions to send military forces to immigration protests in Los Angeles have put the nation at the precipice of authoritarianism,” the New York Times reports.
Said Newsom: “Democracy is under assault right before our eyes — the moment we’ve feared has arrived.”
Washington Post: “Newsom said the Trump administration is becoming an authoritarian regime and warned that while his state may have been first, ‘other states are next.’”
