White House officials threatened to arrest the issue of immigration law enforcement, California Governor Newsom "hardly": Come and arrest me
U.S. federal agency personnel are launching law enforcement actions against illegal immigration in Los Angeles, California, and differences between California local officials and the U.S. federal government continue to intensify. According to NBC, Washington Observer and other media reports on the 8th local time, White House border affairs director Tom Homan threatened that anyone who interferes in law enforcement of federal agencies may be arrested, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Newsom then responded to this.
"I dare say, everyone is the same," Homan warned earlier in an interview with NBC, "whenever crosses the line, intentionally harboring illegal immigrants is a felony. Obstructing law enforcement officers' work is also a felony."

Newson responded to this in an interview with MSNBC on the 8th, saying, "Come and arrest me. Arrest me. We'll end up, tough guy. You know, I don't care at all." Newson also said that California needs to "fight back" the Trump administration.
Since the morning of the 6th, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau and other federal agencies have dispatched a large number of law enforcement personnel to carry out law enforcement operations against illegal immigrants in many places in Los Angeles, California. These actions have caused a lot of street confrontation, chaos and conflict. White House Press Secretary Levitt announced on the 7th that US President Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard personnel to respond. Newson posted on social media on the 8th that it was "illegal and immoral" to dispatch the California National Guard without soliciting the governor's opinion, and that California will take the Trump administration to court.
