Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon added in comment to the Sacramento Bee Tuesday: "I just personally looked through the governor’s phone. No missed call. No voicemail. Nothing. The last time they spoke was Friday when the governor called him."

Los Angeles descended into violent riots Friday when federal immigration officials converged on the city to carry out raids targeting illegal immigrants. Local leaders such as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Newsom, however, quickly denounced the raids in public statements while offering words of support for illegal immigrants in the state.
Protests over the raids soon devolved into violence as rioters targeted federal law enforcement officials, including launching attacks at federal law enforcement officials.

Trump announced Saturday that he was deploying 2,000 National Guard members to help quell the violence. While the Trump administration deployed hundreds of U.S. Marines to respond to anti-immigration chaos on Monday evening as the violence continued.

"If I didn’t ‘SEND IN THE TROOPS’ to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now," Trump posted to Truth Social on Tuesday morning.
