Los Angeles Erupts Amid Trump-Era ICE Raids—2,000 National Guard Troops Deployed
“He failed that state. He failed those people.” – Tom Homan
Newsom Dares Feds to Arrest Him Over ICE Protests
California Governor Gavin Newsom is under fire after daring federal authorities to arrest him during a national television appearance. The Democrat’s challenge came after Trump border czar Tom Homan warned that state leaders who obstruct ICE operations could face prosecution.
“He knows where to find me. Arrest me. I don’t give a damn,” Newsom declared during an MSNBC interview.
Newsom’s outburst followed days of violent protests in Los Angeles targeting federal immigration enforcement. Rioters torched American flags, burned vehicles, and assaulted officers as ICE agents carried out deportation orders.
Tom Homan Responds: “No One Is Above the Law”
Homan responded Monday on Fox & Friends, stating:
“We’re not targeting Governor Newsom—but if any elected official crosses the legal line, they’re subject to prosecution. That’s how law and order works.”
He emphasized that while Americans have a right to protest, acts of violence, obstruction, or aiding illegal aliens are federal crimes—and the Trump administration won’t tolerate them.
Trump Sends National Guard as Left-Wing Riots Rage
As chaos spread across the city, President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order. Many conservative Americans applauded the move, while California Democrats condemned it as “heavy-handed.”
“Trump acted swiftly. Newsom waited two days while the city burned,” said Homan. “That’s the difference between real leadership and political cowardice.”
ICE Operation Targets Criminal Cartel Activity
ICE confirmed the operation involved criminal warrants tied to a business accused of:
- Money laundering
- Consumer fraud
- Sending illicit funds to Latin American cartels
Instead of cooperating, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass released a statement defending illegal immigrants and denouncing federal enforcement. Governor Newsom followed suit, calling the raids “reckless” and blaming Trump for “tearing families apart.”
Homan: “Sanctuary Policies Put Americans at Risk”
Homan didn’t hold back.
“This isn’t about politics. It’s about protecting American families. These sanctuary policies only serve criminals.”
He added that the Trump administration remains committed to defending our borders, enforcing immigration law, and putting American citizens first.
