California Governor Gavin Newsom has launched a verbal offensive against President Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan amidst escalating anti-ICE demonstrations in downtown Los Angeles.
The unrest follows a series of ICE raids on local businesses, resulting in the arrest of several illegal immigrants, an action that has drawn the ire of the Democratic governor.
According to Gateway Pundit, Newsom criticized President Trump for deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to assist law enforcement in managing the riots. In a series of posts on X, Newsom lambasted the Trump Administration's approach to the situation.
During a media interview at the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) headquarters, Newsom provocatively challenged Homan, saying, Tom, arrest me, lets go, lets just get it over with, tough guy.
The governor's meeting with LAPD officials, who have controversially described the violent rioters as peaceful protesters, was marked by tension. Newsom, visibly agitated, attributed the violence to the Trump Administration's policies, while maintaining that the demonstrators were engaging in peaceful protest, despite live footage showing fires being set by illegal immigrants.
Newsom defended the illegal immigrants, asserting they are merely attempting to live their lives and contribute through taxes. His remarks come amid a backdrop of heightened tensions and a national debate over immigration policies and law enforcement's role in maintaining order.
The situation in Los Angeles underscores the ongoing clash between state and federal authorities over immigration enforcement and public safety, with Newsom's comments highlighting the deep political divide.
