President Donald Trump and California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom are engaged in a bitter fight over the handling of protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue in Los Angeles -- and both also are framing their confrontation in familiar, sharp political terms.

The tension between President Trump and the California Governor is thick as protests spiral out of control in Los Angeles.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declined to say Tuesday whether he believes California Gov. Gavin Newsom should be arrested — but he did say that the Democrat should be "tarred and feathered." Why it matters: President Trump and White House border czar Tom Homan have both floated the idea of arresting California officials — including Newsom — for allegedly impeding deportations.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has clashed with several GOP officials over the hostile LA protests from Vice President JD Vance to U.S. Senator Tom Cotton.
