If Newsom had deployed them instead of Trump, then your statement would be accurate.
I would imagine this is being done as a signal to the state of California not to incite insurrection or the Insurrection Act could be invoked.
I’m not making a judgment about the morality or correctness of the current federalization of the national guard, but we need to make sure we are not spreading misinformation at such a time and sticking to facts.
Edit:
I did just find this, so it seems they are being integrated somehow. So then yes, not clear how this would be legal:

California isn’t “inciting” anything - this is a few people in a couple of parts of the city and so far it seems like a protest with some violence on the order of a bad Raiders game, nothing remotely like the 1992 riots much less an actual insurrection.
Still relevant to today's news
