"Border Patrol was "directed, clearly by the White House, as a political operation to make a point," Newsom said during an interview following the event, warning that Trump is trying to dismantle democracy in the United States."
"What we saw just a moment ago with Border Patrol is a preview of things to come at voting booths and polling places all across this country," Newsom said, adding, "there's a reason members of the Trump team sent me a Trump 2028 hat with a note because they're not screwing around and we can't screw around either."
California Gov. Gavin Newsom accused the White House of orchestrating a political operation involving Border Patrol to intimidate critics of the Trump administration during a redistricting event. He warned that such tactics could foreshadow future voter intimidation at polling sites across the nation. Newsom emphasized the seriousness of Trump's tactics, recalling a recent incident where he received a symbolic Trump 2028 hat. Despite criticism for various policies, including those affecting undocumented immigrants and homelessness, Newsom continues to be a prominent voice against Trump.
