California’s left-wing governor Gavin Newsom is now openly taunting federal law enforcement, challenging President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan to arrest him for his refusal to crack down on violent anti-ICE mobs running rampant through Los Angeles.
> “Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy,” Newsom sneered during a combative NBC interview on Sunday — a desperate display of political theater as the Golden State descends deeper into lawlessness.
The challenge came after Homan, a former acting director of ICE under President Trump, warned that both Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass could face federal charges for obstructing lawful immigration enforcement and encouraging criminal activity.
> “You cross that line, it’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien,” Homan told Fox News. “It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”
As violent anti-ICE protests erupt across Los Angeles for a third straight day, President Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops into the city to support overwhelmed federal agents. The move, predictably, triggered outrage from Democrats who would rather protect illegal aliens than their own constituents.
But instead of condemning the rioters — who’ve been caught hurling projectiles, setting fires, and clashing with federal agents — Newsom chose to vilify law enforcement and paint illegal immigrants as victims.
> “Let your hands off 4-year-old girls that are trying to get educated,” Newsom blustered. “They’re just trying to live their lives, man… The fear, the horror.”
Perhaps Newsom forgot to mention that ICE wasn’t targeting “4-year-old girls” — they were arresting hardened criminals, including gang members, armed robbers, and sexual predators. According to Homan, the operation focused on dismantling cartel-linked networks operating with impunity in California’s sanctuary cities.
> “We made L.A. safer,” Homan declared. “But all you hear is rhetoric — ICE are Nazis, ICE are terrorists — and Gov. Newsom feeds that garbage.”
This isn’t the first time Newsom has put political posturing above public safety, but daring federal officials to arrest him for undermining immigration law takes it to a new level. And as Los Angeles burns, the governor has the audacity to claim *he’s* the victim of “authoritarianism.”
> “This is about authoritarian tendencies… about ego,” Newsom claimed, ignoring his own government’s role in shielding violent criminals from prosecution under the guise of “compassion.”
Newsom has announced he plans to sue the Trump administration for deploying the National Guard without his permission — because apparently, he believes preserving his political image is more important than restoring order to his out-of-control state.
In the eyes of many conservatives, Newsom’s stunt is yet another reminder that today’s Democratic leadership would rather attack the people enforcing our laws than the criminals breaking them. As California’s sanctuary policies continue to endanger lives and fuel chaos, Tom Homan said it best:
> “We’re enforcing the law. If you don’t like the law, change it — don’t vilify the men and women who swore an oath to uphold it.”
