A series of protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids has intensified tensions between the Trump administration and California's Democratic leadership. The controversy escalated when border czar Tom Homan suggested that political figures obstructing federal immigration enforcement could face arrest. Trump's endorsement of Homan's suggestion provoked a strong response from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who condemned the idea as authoritarian. The exchange highlights the ongoing political conflict surrounding immigration policy and enforcement in California amidst broader national debates.

"Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America ... an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."
