Trump administration border czar Tom Homan said Monday morning that California Gov.
Newsom on Monday said he will sue the Trump administration over the deployment.
“If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“The very incompetent “Governor,” Gavin Newscum, and “Mayor,” Karen Bass, should be saying, “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL.
At the heart of the back-and-forth is the unrest in Los Angeles sparked on Friday by series of immigration raids in which federal authorities arrested more than 40 people.
Following protesters’ clashes with police over the weekend in Los Angeles over President Donald Trump’s immigration raids, and as the state prepared for a possible fourth day of unrest, the Trump administration and California officials continued to place blame on one another Monday.
Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s border czar, stated Monday morning that California Gov. When it comes to handling those protests, Gavin Newsom has “failed that state” and is “late to the game.”.
During his Monday appearance on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” Homan stated that there had been “no discussion of arresting Newsom” within the Trump administration, but he cautioned that “no one is above the law.”. Over the weekend, Newsom had challenged Homan to arrest him, saying, “Come after me.”. The California governor told NBC News, “Arrest me. “Tough guy, let’s just finish this up. “”.
However, by early Monday afternoon, Trump appeared to tell reporters that “I’d do it if I were Tom,” encouraging his border czar to call Newsom’s bluff and arrest the governor. “.”.
On the south lawn of the White House, Trump remarked, “Gavin likes the publicity,” following his departure from Marine One. He has performed a dreadful job. Gavin Newsom is a nice guy, and I like him, but everyone knows that he is incredibly incompetent. Trump went on to say that the demonstrators over the weekend were “insurrectionists” and “professional agitators” who ought to be imprisoned.
Meanwhile, Democrats persisted in opposing President Donald Trump’s move to send 2,000 troops to Los Angeles and federalize the California National Guard, a move not done since Lyndon Johnson did so in Alabama in 1965. He will sue the Trump administration for the deployment, Newsom declared Monday.
Trump praised the National Guard’s deployment as a “great decision” on Monday.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Los Angeles would have been totally destroyed if we hadn’t done this.”. “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL,” should be the words of the incredibly inept “Governor,” Gavin Newscum, and “Mayor,” Karen Bass. Without you, sir, we wouldn’t exist. Instead, they decide to tell the American and Californian people lies by claiming that these are “peaceful protests” and that we weren’t needed. You can learn everything there is to know about the violence and destruction from just a glance at the images and videos. We will always take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our citizens so that we can all work together to make America great once more.
The main topic of discussion is the disturbances in Los Angeles that were brought on by a series of immigration raids on Friday, during which more than 40 people were taken into custody by federal authorities. Anger-filled demonstrators flooded the streets of Los Angeles, blocking a major highway and burning cars as police used rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash bangs.
“Looking awful in L.”. a. Trump wrote, “BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!” on Truth Social early on Monday morning. He also wrote, “Don’t let these thugs get away with this.”. “.”.
The clashes were stoked by Trump’s federalization and deployment of the California National Guard, according to both Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The governor of California referred to the action as “illegal” and urged the president to take it back. Homan promised a swift and robust federal response, but claimed that Newsom was to blame for the violence’s failure.
“He has let that state down. Homan told Fox News that he waited two days for the city to burn and for officers to be attacked before declaring an unlawful assembly. He arrives late for the game. Trump doesn’t arrive late for the game. “.”.
Following the chaos of the weekend, the city of Glendale, California, declared on Sunday that it would end its contract with ICE and DHS to house federal immigration detainees at the Glendale Police Department facility.
“The City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract — no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good — has become divisive,” the city, which is less than ten miles from Los Angeles, stated, denying that the decision was motivated by politics. “”.
“Our officers strive every day to protect and serve with professionalism and care because the residents and businesses trust and support the Glendale Police Department,” the city continued. Right now, it is best for us to prevent that trust from being weakened. “”.
The tumultuous state of affairs coincides with the Trump administration’s drive to deport US immigrants. S. . illegally reached all-time highs last week, including 2,300 arrests made by U.S. A. The most in a single day for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. According to reports, White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has called for the deportation of at least 3,000 migrants every day, and the White House has pledged to increase the number of deportations daily.
California Representative Kamala Harris and former Vice President Kamala Harris are Democrats. The administration’s actions over the weekend were meant to “stoke fear,” according to Maxine Waters, who has defended Newsom. “”.
Waters, who went to the demonstrations this past weekend and tried to get inside the federal prison where labor leader David Huerta was being held, stated that she thinks the federal troops’ presence in Los Angeles is a ruse to declare “martial law.”.
“[Trump] is going to create a lot of issues. He will enrage a lot of people before requesting martial law, Waters told CNN on Monday.
“Local law enforcement didn’t need help,” according to Newsom, who posted on the social media site X on Monday, but “Trump sent troops anyway — to manufacture chaos and violence.”. He announced his intention to sue the Trump administration on Monday.
The governor declared, “Now that things are unstable, we need to send in more law enforcement just to clean up Trump’s mess.”.
