Governor challenges Trump: "Arrest me if you dare, Mr. President!" - Governor insists on Trump's action to apprehend me.
It's a rowdy American power tussle as California Governor, Gavin Newsom, and President Donald Trump trade heated quips following Trump's bid to deploy federal agents during Los Angeles protests. Yet, rumors of Newsom urging Trump to slap the cuffs on him while at City Hall? Well, that's just good ol' fake news. Newsom's reaction came in response to Trump's suggestion that, if he was border czar Tom Homan, he'd consider nabbing Newsom himself.
Before the Showdown:- Protests erupted in LA due to Trump's hardline immigration policies, leading to heated clashes between demonstrators and federal officers.- Trump expressed his opinion that he'd consider arresting Newsom, as he disagreed with the Governor's management of the situation[1][2].- Newsom, however, remained unfazed and dared Trump, "Come and get me, tough guy," when the President's remarks got out[1].
Feds, Militia, and Lawsuits:- Facing opposition from Newsom and local authorities, Trump ordered the deployment of National Guard troops and activated 700 Marines, which exacerbated tensions[1][2].- Disputing the federalization of the California National Guard as unlawful, Newsom went as far as filing a lawsuit against Trump and the Department of Defense[4].
In essence, while Newsom didn't exactly invite Trump to take a swing at him during the demonstrations at City Hall, this confrontation underscores the tense relationship between the two, centering on questions of federal and state power.
As the tense political face-off between Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom continues, this dispute, sparked by Trump's suggestion to deploy federal agents during California protests, has found its way onto the headlines of policy-and-legislation, general-news, and war-and-conflicts worldwide. This escalation led to Newsom filing a lawsuit against Trump and the Department of Defense, highlighting the ongoing disagreements about the power dynamics between federal and state authorities.
