California Governor defends arrests after Trump's call for arrest

Bùi Đức |

California Governor Gavin Newsom said that Mr. Trump's call for arrest was not an act of the president, threatening to sue the US government.

On June 9, the conflict between US President Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom escalated around how to handle protests in Los Angeles, which were fueled by Trump's immigration crackdown campaign.

After Newsom objected to Trump sending the National Guard to California without the Governor's approval, President Trump ordered the deployment of hundreds more Marines to the city that afternoon.

Last weekend, Trump even said he would arrest Governor Newsom if he were Acting Director of the Immigration Department (ICE) Tom Homan.

Trump's then-taken speech came just hours after Homan said he had never considered arresting Newsom.

On June 9, when asked by reporters what crime Mr. Newsom committed to be arrested, President Trump replied: "I think his biggest crime was running for governor because he worked so badly."

For his part, Mr. Newsom affirmed that Mr. Trump's call to arrest a state governor was not the act of a president.

This is a day I hope will never happen in the US. Whether you are a Democratic or a Republican, this is a line we cannot cross, Newsom wrote on social network X.

However, the tension did not stop there.

After a US official confirmed that 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms, California had been ordered to provide assistance in Los Angeles, the California Governor said the state would sue the federal government for illegally deploying the National Guard.

Mr. Newsom warned that President Trump's deployment of the National Guard could happen in many other states, not just in California. The president lit the oil on the fire and acted illegally when federalising the National Guard, Newsom wrote on his personal page.
