Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, August 14, 2025

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement conducted a raid right outside of California Governor Gavin Newsom's rally on Thursday at the Japanese American National Museum in Downtown Los Angeles.

Newsom held an event to announce his own redistricting efforts in California, a direct response to the Trump administration and the Texas GOP gerrymandering their House map to favor Republicans in the 2026 midterms.

"Newsom also acknowledged the raid during his speech.

"Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens of dozens of ICE agents," Newsom said, the crowd booing in response. "Donald Trump ... you think it's coincidental?"

"No!" the crowd fired back."

"We know what Donald Trump knows: He's going to lose the midterms. He knows, de facto, his presidency ends in seventeen months, when Speaker [Hakeem] Jeffries is back in the House," Newsom continued.

"He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength. The most unpopular president in modern history."

Newson is right"ICE at his event was no coincidence. Trump and the governor have traded barbs for years now, and it only looks to be ratcheting up even further now."

Just wait until ICE fully staffs up with 18-year-olds who want to wear a mask and carry a gun, and then is deployed to start ~patrolling~ voting stations on Election Day.

What could possibly go wrong?
