Governor Gavin Newsom faced criticism from Democrats for labeling the issue of a wrongly deported man as a "distraction." During a press conference, he shifted discussions to a lawsuit against Trump's tariffs. Newsom’s comments came in response to questions about a contempt ruling by a federal judge related to the Trump administration, and his remarks sparked discord among party members focused on unifying around legal efforts to support deportees. He later clarified through his spokesperson that he did not refer to the specific deportation case as a distraction.
Newsom described the question regarding the deportee as 'the distraction of the day', aiming to shift the focus to a lawsuit against Trump's tariffs instead.
The governor distanced himself from the fervor surrounding the deportation case, noting he was focused on a separate legal battle concerning tariffs and immigrants.
