BREAKING NEWS: The dare and double-dare between Newsom and the Trump administration comes after the president ordered the National Guard into Los Angeles.
Amid a mounting legal clash between the federal government and the state of California, President Donald Trump suggested that his border czar Tom Homan should arrest Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“I would do it … I think it’s great,” Trump said when asked if Homan should arrest the governor, who has challenged the administration’s mobilization of National Guard troops to crack down on violent protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles.
Arresting Newsom, who responded to Homan’s threat by daring the feds to arrest him in a June 8 social media post, would represent a major escalation of the state’s widening rift with the Trump administration.
