As National Guard deploys, Democratic Rep. Nanette Barragán sees 'sign of a dictator'
June 9, 2025
Barragán: People feel that it's unnecessary. They feel this is the administration taking over. And it is. This is a sign of a dictator who takes over a National Guard against the governor's will, [and] against all elected officials' will. The presence of the National Guard in itself is sending that message, "we're here to take you over."
