In early October, Newsom and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker requested the NGA denounce President Trump&#8217;s deployment of National Guard troops between states, following Texas Governor Greg Abbott&#8217;s decision to send troops to Illinois without Pritzker&#8217;s consent. Although Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt criticized the deployments and supported states&#8217; rights, the NGA as a whole did not issue a condemnation.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom announced that California would stay in the NGA but would stop paying its dues, citing the association&#8217;s failure to make &#8220;routine, nonpartisan statements&#8221; on issues like National Guard deployment authority and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/notre-dame-undermines-catholic-mission-in-pursuit-of-dei\/\" title=\"Notre Dame Undermines Catholic Mission In Pursuit Of DEI\">federal funding cuts<\/a>. California ceased its dues payments, totaling over $180,000, in August. The dispute centers on the politicization of National Guard deployments without the consent of the governors of the receiving states, which Newsom argues undermines state sovereignty.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Newsom to stay in National Governors Association after threats to leave over federal deployments<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2420584\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\/\">Gavin Newsom<\/a> (D-CA) is reportedly staying in the National Governors Association after threatening to leave the group if it did not condemn the Trump administration&rsquo;s inter-state <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/national-guard\/\">National Guard<\/a> deployments.<\/p>\n<p>In early October, Newsom and Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jb-pritzker-2\/\">JB Pritzker<\/a> (D-IL) each <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3839983\/newsom-pritzker-national-governors-association-troop-deployments\/\">sent individual letters<\/a> to the bipartisan group of governors asking it to denounce President Donald Trump&rsquo;s deployment of National Guard troops between states.
