Newsom Defies Trump Appointee's Jail Threat Amid National Guard Deployment

California Governor Gavin Newsom faces a threat of imprisonment from former ICE director Tom Homan over his opposition to the Trump administration's immigration policies. Homan issued a warning to Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, stating that they would be jailed if they interfered with the planned raids. Newsom responded defiantly, stating, "Come after me. Arrest me. Let's just get it over with." The situation is further complicated by the deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles without Newsom's consent, a move that hasn't been seen in over 60 years. This unprecedented action highlights the deep political divide and the ongoing battle over immigration policy. Legal experts are now weighing in on the legality of Homan's threats and the National Guard's deployment. The situation remains tense, with potential legal challenges on the horizon.
