Trump says he'd arrest Governor Newsom

Amid the escalating tensions over the protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles, US President Donald Trump on Monday suggested California Governor Gavin Newsom should be arrested. The Trump administration and California are locked in a simmering battle after the president sent the National Guard to the state against Newsom's wishes. "Look, I like Gavin Newsom. He's a nice guy. But he's grossly incompetent," Trump said told a reporter.
"The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America," Newsom wrote in a post on X in response to Trump's comments. The governor added, "I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism." Earlier Monday, Newsom said California will sue Trump, saying the president "illegally acted" by deploying the National Guard for the L.A. protests. He said, Donald Trump has created and manufactured a crisis and added that ‘They illegally and unconstitutional deployed the national guard over the objection of the governor’. ‘National Guard… now, 4,000 of which 300 have been operationalized,’ he said. Los Angeles Mayor also blame Trump for worsening situation. The chaos surrounding ongoing protests in Los Angeles was created by the Trump Administration, Mayor Karen Bass said during a press conference Monday. Mayor Karen Bass said the city is terrified as they worry of where ICE will strike next. “On Thursday, the city was peaceful,” Bass said. “On Friday, it was not because of the intervention of the federal government.”
Meanwhile, California has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, asking a judge to declare the callup of National Guard troops in response to street protests in Los Angeles unconstitutional and for the court to halt any future deployments.
