The Trump administration's new policy slashes how much local agencies can spend on permanent supportive housing.

Here in California, housing officials say a 30 percent cap will undermine years of housing-first progress in the state.

Officials also say nationwide the change could put 170,000 seniors, foster youth, and others at risk of losing stable homes.

The Trump administration is shifting its focus to transitional housing with an emphasis on sobriety, work, and treatment requirements that leaders in California say could push more people back onto the streets.

Newsom announced that the Trump administration was sending the California National Guard troops both in a post on the website X and in a statement.

Newsom says California's troops were placed under Trump's control months ago in response to unrest in Los Angeles and are now being used as a political weapon against Americans.

He also announced his intentions to sue.

In response, a White House spokesperson says President Trump has exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland from so-called violent riots.

It comes one day after a Trump-appointed federal judge temporarily blocked the president's effort to call up 200 of Oregon's own National Guard, calling it unjustified.
