Residents in a Northern California community are begging Gov. Newsom for help as crime runs rampant as Los Angeles continues to burn from wildfires.
President Trump landed in Los Angeles Friday afternoon to tour damage from the devastating Palisades Fire, one of two deadly wildfires in the LA area this month, greeting Gov. Gavin Newsom who was waiting at the bottom of the steps to Air Force One.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday announced that he would deploy additional resources ahead of the extreme fire weather expected this week.
Burn scars in areas of the Eaton Fire and Palisades Fire are of top concern, as the risk for mudslides, landslides, flash floods and debris flow is high in fire zones.

Although not publicly invited by Trump, Newsom said he will be at the airport with the red carpet to welcome the newly sworn-in president.

Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday expanded the agenda for his legislative session focused on "Trump-proofing" California to include response and recovery funding for the catastrophic Los Angeles County wildfires.

And House Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested there should be conditions on federal wildfire aid to force changes in California.
Trump and Newsom set aside their usual bitterness and say they will figure out how to work together on the region’s recovery.
