"During a conversation between Newsom and Shapiro on the This is Gavin Newsom podcast, Shapiro grilled the governor about a post his press office made following the ICE shooting of Renee Good, which simply read, STATE. SPONSORED. TERRORISM. Your press office tweeted out that it was state-sponsored terrorism, which, I mean governor, I just have to ask you about that. That sort of thing makes our politics worse, and it does, said Shapiro, to which Newsom responded, Yeah."
"What's the purpose of that? He questioned, Wouldn't best policy be to cooperate with ICE in the vast majority of cases so instead of ICE going to, as you say, churches and hospitals to pick people up, they'd be going to jailhouses? That's exactly what they do in California. I mean, we have over 10,000 that I've cooperated with since I've been governor of California, claimed Newsom."
Gavin Newsom walked back a press office social media post that labeled an ICE action as state-sponsored terrorism and agreed that ICE officers are not terrorists. Ben Shapiro criticized the post as worsening political discourse and asked whether California's sanctuary policies hinder cooperation with ICE. Shapiro argued that cooperating with ICE in most cases would shift arrests from churches and hospitals to jailhouses. Newsom responded that California already cooperates with ICE on prison transfers, claiming he has facilitated over 10,000 transfers and that state prisons work directly with ICE. Newsom also said he vetoed multiple bills that would have limited transfers to ICE.
