Trump supports arresting Gov. Newsom if he obstructs ICE operations, claims Los Angeles protesters are "professional agitators" who "should be in jail."

Ahead of his arrival at the White House, Trump on social media stood by his decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles. He also argued that Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass were not grateful enough for his assistance, despite both officials stating that Trump’s move escalated the violence.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom added fuel to the fire after daring President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan to arrest him for failing to crackdown on violent anti-ICE agitators in his state.
