California Gov. Gavin Newsom instructed President Donald Trump’s border czar to arrest him after protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles continued for the third consecutive day. “The hell is this guy?” Newsom told NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff. “Come after me, arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy. You know, I don’t give a damn.”

Governor Gavin Newsom said the U.S. President “manufactured” the chaos in Los Angeles to distract from challenges and seize power.

Gavin Newsom asked the Trump administration on Sunday to rescind its move to deploy 2,000 California National Guardsmen to Los Angeles to subdue immigration protests, accusing the White House of illegally overriding his authority and intentionally inflaming tensions with protesters.
