California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.

National Guard troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday after being ordered into the city by President Trump in response to a weekend of violent clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters triggered by immigration enforcement operations in the area on Friday.
As he returned to the White House today, Trump was asked if border czar Tom Homan should arrest California Gov. Gavin Newsom, as Newsom has dared him to do. “I would do it if I were Tom,” Trump told reporters.
He also cited the Los Angeles Olympics, which are three years away, as a defense for sending in National Guard troops.
