OLYMPIA — “We condemn President Trump’s illegal activation of California National Guard forces over the objections of California’s governor.
“We understand the strong feelings that President Trump’s actions are generating in our state. The right to protest is core to our nation. It is critical that Washingtonians do so peacefully. Violence will not be tolerated. Those who break the law can expect to be held accountable.
“At the same time, we expect that local law enforcement will manage all protests with professionalism, and without interference from the federal government.”
