California Governor Newsom Stands His Ground As Trump's Border Chief Threatens Arrest over Immigration Issues

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Sunday that the state intends to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration, denouncing the unlawful deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles amid ongoing civil unrest related to aggressive immigration raids.This decision follows threats from Tom Homan, former ICE director and Trump’s border czar, to arrest elected officials, including Newsom, for purportedly obstructing immigration enforcement. Newsom responded vehemently on social media, defiantly stating, “Come and get me, tough guy."Protests have intensified, now extending into a fourth day due to ICE operations in the Los Angeles area, resulting in clashes between demonstrators and federal agents. Amid increasing tensions, multiple arrests have taken place, with the LAPD and other law enforcement agencies detaining numerous individuals.Demonstrations erupted against Trump’s controversial military presence, which marks a historic deviation by deploying troops without state consent, escalating the ongoing debate between federal authority and state autonomy as conflicts over immigration enforcement deepen.
