Dear Editor,
Apparently, Democratic governors, especially the California governor, have collectively opposed the President’s activation of thousands of National Guard members and 700 Marines in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests in Los Angeles.
I cannot find that Gov. Phil Scott has made a statement about this unjustified intrusion by the federal government in what appears to be protests that California’s state and local authorities could handle on their own.
The rhetoric from Washington on this action suggests that, if successful in California, the president and people like Stephen Miller will go after states like our own.
Given Vermont’s continued support for the rule of law, where do you stand, Gov.Scott, on this intrusion on a state’s authority and responsibility to protect its citizens’ rights?
