WASHINGTON, June 9 – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would support the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom over possible obstruction of his administration’s immigration enforcement measures, amid protests in the state.
Trump border czar Tom Homan threatened on Saturday to arrest anyone who obstructed enforcement efforts in the state, including Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Both sharply criticized the Republican president’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles.
