The exchange followed Newsom explicitly stating "Tom, arrest me" to Homan during a clip on MSNBC.
President Donald Trump on Monday urged border czar Tom Homan to arrest Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., amid ongoing riots in Los Angeles, calling him "grossly incompetent."
"I would do it, if I were Tom," he said in response to a reporter question at the White House.
Newsom responded furiously on X, saying "The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."

He’s probably already told Tom to do it.
Cue the clip from “Liar Liar”, where Jim Carrey yells into the phone, “Stop breaking the law, a***ole!!”
That’s a sitting scumbag governor.
Let Newsom and Bass share a cell at GITMO
Somebody do it. Please.
Start with Karen Bass in LA.
How to stop the media from talking about Elon Musk in four words, “I would do it.”
“”The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor.”
The absurdity and idioacy of Gavin Newsom.
Gav called for his own arrest!! “Go ahead, arrest me, Tom.”
And when Trump is like, “Okay,” then it’s all faux outrage. That’s rich.
Sorry. * idiocy
I think Bass should be arrested. She can find out where her head is while in GITMO since she loves Cuba so much.
“No one is above the law. Except me, of course. And all of my friends. You can’t touch us.”
Was he reading a cue card?
The way a former president and mayor of New York were treated means nobody is safe anymore.
Shouldn’t it be Bondi be sending U.S. Marshals to arrest Newsom (and Bass, and Waters), not Homan and ICE??
Also arrest the mayor and police chief while you are at it.
“Sitting” being the operational word, as in “sitting” on his hands as local LE is told to stand down by B ass instead of assisting Feds to safety.
On what charge?
Sitting Governors have been arrested and convicted in the past. The world did not come to an end.
