California Gavin Newsom taunted Border Czar Tom Homan amid the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles on Sunday, saying, “Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy.”
“Let your hands off 4-year-old girls that are trying to get educated. Let your hands off these poor people. They’re just trying to live their lives, man. Trying to live their lives, paying their taxes. Been here for 10 years. The fear, the horror,” Newsom said.
“The hell are they doing? These guys need to grow up. They need to stop, and we need to push back. And I’m sorry to be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let’s go,” he added.
Newsom’s taunt came soon after Homan had warned that the governor and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass could both face federal charges for trying to thwart ICE raids throughout the city.
“I’ll say it about anybody,” Homan had said in a weekend interview as fiery scenes erupted throughout Los Angeles.
“You cross that line, it’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien. It’s a felony to impede law enforcement doing their job.”

Homan reacted to Newsom’s comments on Fox & Friends Monday morning.
“[Newsom] has failed that state. He waited two days of that city burning… before he made any declaration of an unlawful assembly… President Trump isn’t late to the game. The men and women of ICE are not late to the game,” Homan said.
“We made LA safer,” Homan added.
