Trump Endorses Arrest of Gavin Newsom

Monday, June 09, 2025

President Donald Trump has publicly voiced his support for the arrest of a sitting state governor.

Speaking to reporters at the White House Monday, the president responded to a question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy regarding the ongoing back-and-forth between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan.

"Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him," Doocy asked Trump in the video captured by CNN cameras.

"Should he do it?" Trump endorsed the idea, responding, "I would do it if I were Tom."

Newsom responded quickly on social media.

"This is a day I hoped I would never see in America," he wrote. "I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation " this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."

Responding to Homan's threat over the weekend, Newsom said in an interview with MSNBC, "He's a tough guy, why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me."

Trump has indicated he would be willing to bring in the U.S. Marines if he felt the situation called for it. Trump also backed up Homan's warning to officials, saying they will "face judges" if they stand in the way."

So Newsom taunted Homan to be arrested, Trump said he would be okay with that.

President Donald Trump has publicly voiced his support for the arrest of a sitting state governor.

TACO also claimed he would lock up Hillary and build a wall.

TACO says a lot of things.

Yeah.... had he built that Wall with Mexico's money they way he lied to America that he would, Trumpers wouldn't have anything to whine about.

Though I imagine they WOULD find something.

They should arrest Newsom and charge him and the rest of the Democrats under RICO with human and drug trafficking. The Democrat leadership has been an accessory to all the crimes committed by the illegal immigrant horde that they imported. They should be charged as accessories to any crimes they commit.

President Donald Trump's border czar is furiously backpedaling after suggesting California Governor Gavin Newsom could be arrested for interfering with the administration's crackdown on protesters in Los Angeles.

Speaking to Fox News Monday morning, Tom Homan said that Newsom could "absolutely" be arrested if found to have committed a crime such as impeding law enforcement, but claimed his original remarks on the matter were misconstrued by host Jacob Soboroff during an interview for MSNBC.

Homan admitted that neither of the Democratic politicians is accused of breaking any law during the protests.

It would be unprecedented for one political party to arrest a high profile member of an opposing political party.

The GOP won't do it because they actually care about precedent. However, they are 100% within their rights to do so. How is giving driver licenses to illegals to allow them to drive - and then those illegals kill people in DUIs not being an accessory? If you illegally sell a gun to one that is used in a crime - you will be charged. Why is Newsom above the law?

Driving is usually a States rights issue. They make up the laws regarding driving requirements. You know who can drive and at what age. Just sayin

Yes - it is state's rights. But knowingly giving an illegal a weapon that is then used to kill someone should be charged as an accessory to the crime.

But to my larger point, knowingly giving illegals the right to drive should be charged under RICO for human and drug trafficking. You are incentivizing the law to be broken. Charge the Dem leadership and their NGOs under RICO.
