CNN Inside Politics: Send in the Troops
CNN Politics
Jun 9, 2025

First: After three days of protests in California against his deportation policies, President Trump sends in the National Guard - against the wishes of the governor, who says the state plans to sue. 

Plus: Elon Musk deletes his harshest anti-Trump posts and applauds the president's National Guard deployment. Is it an attempt to get back in Trump's good graces? 

And: More than 300 NIH workers say the Trump Administration is politicizing health, and lives are hanging in the balance.
