How come Newsom can’t order the California guard to protect the protestors from ICE?

Isn’t he their commander?

The Guard was federalized which takes them out of Newsom's control and puts them in Dipshit's control.

Wait, Trump called in California's national guard or Trump federalized California's state guard? Because I was under the impression he couldn't do the latter

The President's unlawful order infringes on Governor Newsom's role as Commander-in-Chief of the California National Guard and violates the state's sovereign right to control and have available its National Guard in the absence of a lawful invocation of federal power.

The California National Guard (Cal Guard) is part of the National Guard of the United States, a dual federal–state military reserve force in the state of California.

The California State Guard (CSG) is a reserve military force that supports the California National Guard (CNG) and the California Military Department (CMD) by enhancing their readiness for both state and federal responsibilities.
