California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) lashed out at President Trump and taunted Border Czar Tom Homan amid violent Anti-ICE riots in downtown Los Angeles.
Newsom is angry that ICE agents raided multiple businesses in LA on Friday and arrested illegal aliens.
The Democrat Governor also attacked President Trump for deputizing 2,000 National Guard troops to help law enforcement quell the riots.
I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command.

Despite protests already being managed by @LAPDHQ, President Trump is escalating the situation by threatening to deploy roughly 500 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles: Remain peaceful. Don’t fall into the trap that extremists are hoping for.

After attacking the Trump Administration in a series of posts on X, Newsom dared Tom Homan to arrest him during an interview with the media at the LAPD headquarters.
Newsom met with the worthless leaders at the LAPD who have insisted that the violent rioters who are burning cars and assaulting law enforcement officers are peacefully protesting.

During his meeting at the LAPD headquarters, a panicked Newsom gave an interview to the media.
Newsom blamed the Trump Administration for the violent riots. He also repeatedly said the rioters are ‘protesting peacefully’ as live footage of the illegals starting fires played in the background.
Gavin Newsom claimed the illegal aliens are just trying to live their lives and pay taxes.
“Tom, arrest me, let’s go, let’s just get it over with, tough guy,” Newsom said as he mocked Homan.
