A group of Democratic governors gathered Friday to denounce President Donald Trump’s efforts to deploy National Guard troops to cities across the country.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek met virtually as Trump’s plans to place troops in Chicago and Portland faced legal hurdles in court.

“This is unprecedented in modern American history,” Newsom said in a video of their discussion posted to X. “This is, dare I say, a constitutional crisis.”

“This is a time for us to partner,” Newsom told Pritzker and Kotek, “and a time for us to really raise the red flag of alarm about what’s really going on in this country.”
