Trump says he'd arrest Gov. Newsom

President Trump on Monday suggested California Gov. Gavin Newsom should be arrested amid an escalating feud between the two men after days of protests over ICE arrests in Los Angeles.The big picture: The Trump administration and California are locked in a simmering battle after the president sent the National Guard to the state against Newsom's wishes.Driving the news: "I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great," the president told a reporter, referring to border czar Tom Homan.Homan previously told NBC News that he wouldn't rule out arresting Democratic officials if they impede law enforcement or harbor undocumented immigrants. In response, Newsom has dared Homan to arrest him."Come and get me, tough guy," Newsom wrote in response Sunday.What he's 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," Newsom wrote in a post on X in response to Trump's comments.The governor added, "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."Zoom out: Earlier Monday, Newsom said California will sue Trump, saying the president "illegally acted" by deploying the National Guard for the L.A. protests.The White House has blamed Newsom directly "for the lawless riots and violent attacks on law enforcement in Los Angeles."Go deeper: Trump-Newsom feud boils over during immigration protests in LAEditor's note: This is a breaking news story.
