Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said he will send hundreds of National Guard soldiers to California’s border with Mexico in the coming days as thousands of illegal immigrants enter the state each week.

“California has doubled our National Guard at the border that are working to stop the flow of fentanyl,” Newsom wrote in a post to X while in the San Diego area Thursday afternoon. “While the GOP play games and Mike Johnson searches for his spine — we’re out here doing the work.”
