Gavin Newsom (D) warned in a primetime address Tuesday amid President Donald Trump’s military response to the Los Angeles protests that this “assault” on democracy will spread across the country if Trump continues to go unchecked.

"Come and get me, tough guy. I don't give a damn," Newsom said after saying border czar Tom Homan had threatened to arrest him for speaking out on ICE raids.

Newsom is widely viewed as a likely presidential candidate. A new video shows the Democrat fashioning himself as leader of the Trump resistance.

Donald Trump responded to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s dare to administration officials to arrest him, with the president suggesting that he would support such a move by his border czar, Tom Homan.

Border czar Tom Homan has warned that anyone who interferes with ICE raids could face federal charges, including elected officials.

President Donald Trump said the show of force in Los Angeles should serve as a warning that similar demonstrations in other places would not be tolerated.

Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.
