Both Trump and his “border czar,” Tom Homan, have said California officials could face arrest if they’re perceived as impeding ICE operations.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed back against threats of arrest by Trump administration officials, remaining defiant as he oversees clashes between law enforcement agents and protesters in response to immigration raids across Los Angeles while also managing an ongoing power struggle with the federal government.
In an interview for MSNBC with NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff, Newsom called Homan’s bluff, urging him to “just get it over with” and move ahead with the arrest.
“He’s a tough guy. Why doesn’t he do that? He knows where to find me,” Newsom said. “That kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let’s go."
If I am a betting person, and if Trump doesn’t arrest him sooner, I would bet that Newsom will run for president near 2028, and that is when Trump will have him arrested.
Newsome will definitely run for president, and HitlerPig knows it, that’s why he’s going after him now.
Alexei Navalny would advise Newsome to not get arrested easily. Fight these fascists at every turn.
So are you? A betting person?
In the case of Trump? No. The dude is unpredictable.
