Trump Demands Newsom's Arrest: Unfounded Claims Fuel Los Angeles Protest Tensions

Trump Calls for Newsom's Arrest Amidst Los Angeles Protests Los Angeles, CA – June 9, 2025 – Former President Donald Trump has called for the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom, escalating tensions over the handling of recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. Trump claims the protests are being fueled by "paid agitators," a claim he has yet to substantiate. The video shows Trump stating, "Gavin Newsom is daring... He's done a terrible job. The people causing the problems are professional agitators." Newsom has not yet responded to Trump's call for his arrest. The protests, which began last week, have drawn significant attention due to their scale and the involvement of various community groups. While many participants express concerns about ICE practices, Trump's accusations of paid agitators raise questions about the true nature of the demonstrations. The situation remains tense, with ongoing discussions about the role of law enforcement and the rights of protesters.
