California Gov. Gavin Newsom instructed President Donald Trump’s border czar to arrest him after protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles continued for the third consecutive day. “The hell is this guy?” Newsom told NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff. “Come after me, arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy. You know, I don’t give a damn.”

Governor Gavin Newsom said the U.S. President “manufactured” the chaos in Los Angeles to distract from challenges and seize power.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed back against threats of arrest by Trump administration officials, remaining defiant as he oversees clashes between law enforcement agents and protesters in response to immigration raids across Los Angeles while also managing an ongoing power struggle with the federal government.
