White House Official Warns of Arrests for California Leaders

Los Angeles, CA – June 8, 2025 – White House border czar Tom Homan issued a stark warning to California officials, including Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom, during an interview with NBC News. Homan stated that anyone who "impedes law enforcement from doing their job" risks arrest. "It's a felony to knowingly harbor an illegal alien," Homan emphasized, adding that this applies to anyone, regardless of their position. While acknowledging that he doesn’t believe Mayor Bass has crossed the line yet, Homan made clear that the administration will not tolerate attacks on law enforcement officers. The interview, conducted in Los Angeles on June 7th, highlights the ongoing tension between federal immigration policy and state-level efforts to address the issue. Homan's comments underscore the potential for increased legal action against those perceived as obstructing federal enforcement. The situation is likely to continue to unfold, generating further discussion and potential legal developments.
