LOS ANGELES — 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.

Trump’s "border czar," Tom Homan, warned Saturday that immigration operations and the presence of federal personnel would continue in the city despite criticism from Democratic leaders who've warned it could further escalate protests. He threatened arrest for anyone who obstructs the immigration enforcement effort, including Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — though he acknowledged that neither yet had "crossed the line."

I bet he'll either end up backing down, or go from smugly defiant to crying if he doesn't.
He may be hoping for it, thinking it will help him in 2028. If Trump were running in 2028, it might even work. But it's hard to play "I defied him" when the "him" in question cannot run due to the 22nd Amendment. So right now I think Newsome is going "Come on: I dare you," knowing Trump will know it could help him politically.

Defiant hero or persecuted victim, it's win win.
