Newsom says Los Angeles rioters will be prosecuted, slams Trump for 'traumatizing our communities'
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, on Tuesday said anti-ICE protesters who engage in violence will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law while also criticizing President Donald Trump for a "brazen abuse of power" in sending troops to respond to demonstrations. Newsom said during a news address that 220 people have already been arrested in connection with the Los Angeles riots and that officials are reviewing footage to build additional cases. The governor also thanked individuals who protested peacefully during demonstrations against deportations and ICE raids on migrant workers at local businesses. Peaceful assembly is not what Trump wanted, the governor said, accusing the president of choosing "escalation," "more force" and "theatrics over public safety." Newsom Files Emergency Motion To 'Immediately Block' Trump's Use Of Military To Stop La Riots Newsom and the president have taken jabs at each other in recent days over the Trump administration's move to deploy thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of active-duty Marines to Los Angeles, with the governor saying it threatens state sovereignty, wastes resources and worsens the situation, while Trump argues that the move was necessary to quell any violence. Read On The Fox News App "These are the men and women trained for foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement," Newsom said Tuesday. "We honor their service. We honor their bravery. But we do not want our streets militarized by our own armed forces. Not in LA, not in California, not anywhere. We're seeing unmarked cars, unmarked cars in school parking lots, kids afraid of attending their own graduation." "Trump is pulling a military dragnet all across Los Angeles, well beyond his stated intent to just go after violent and serious criminals," he continued. "His agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers and seamstresses. That's just weakness. Weakness masquerading as strength. Donald Trump's government isn't protecting our communities. They're traumatizing our communities. And that seems to be the entire point." Newsom had sent a letter on Sunday urging the administration to rescind its deployment of National Guard troops and return them to his command. The state has also filed a lawsuit against the administration over the federal deployment. Hegseth Defends National Guard La Deployments, Says Ice Agents Must Be Protected "Just yesterday, we filed a legal challenge to Donald Trump's reckless deployment of American troops to a major American city," the governor said Tuesday. "Today, we sought an emergency court order to stop the use of the American military to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles." The governor said if some people could be snatched off the streets without a warrant based only on suspicion or skin color, then nobody is safe. "Trump and his loyalists, they thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control," he said. "And by the way, Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?" Newsom also cited border czar Tom Homan's threat to arrest him for alleged immigration interference, an idea Trump later endorsed, saying Newsom's "primary crime was running for governor because he's done such a bad job." "He's calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other reason than, in his own words, for getting elected," Newsom said of Trump. The governor had previously dared Homan to make good on his threat, saying "arrest me" and "come and get me, tough guy." But Homan eventually backed down, admitting that Newsom had not done anything to warrant his arrest. Newsom concluded his remarks on Tuesday by warning that Trump's actions he says threaten state sovereignty and democracy are not exclusive to California. "When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation," Newsom said. "This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball to our Founding Fathers' historic project." "If you exercise your First Amendment rights, please, please do it peacefully," he continued. "I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress and fear, but I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence to be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him."Original article source: Newsom says Los Angeles rioters will be prosecuted, slams Trump for 'traumatizing our communities'

Trump shows he called Newsom during LA riots as California gov claims there wasn't ‘even a voicemail'
President Donald Trump hit back at Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's claims that the president did not recently call him, telling Fox News he spoke to the governor for about 16 minutes on Saturday. Trump told Fox News Tuesday while traveling to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, that Newsom did not pick up his first call over the weekend, but that he picked up the second call and the pair spoke for about 16 minutes on Saturday. 'I told him to, essentially, 'Get his ass in gear,' and stop the riots, which were out of control,' Trump said Tuesday. 'More than anything else, this shows what a liar he is – said I never called.' Trump provided a screenshot of the phone call dated June 7 at 1:23 a.m. White House director of communications Steven Cheung added in comment to Fox Digital Tuesday afternoon: 'The President called Gavin Newsom to tell him to get his ass in gear. The Governor has clearly decided to disgustingly side with the violent rioters instead of protecting Californians. The only liar here is Newsom who continues to fail his state as he prioritizes doing interviews with leftist media to gaslight the public instead of helping his state.' 4 US President Donald Trump speaks at Fort Bragg to celebrate the US Army's 250th anniversary at Pike Field at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, USA, 10 June 2025. STAN GILLILAND/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Earlier Tuesday, Trump held an event addressing wildfire response and prevention from the Oval Office, where he fielded a handful of questions from the media regarding the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angles, telling a reporter he spoke to Newsom 'a day ago.' 'A day ago. I called him up to tell him (he's) got to do a better job. He's done a bad job,' Trump said. In a response post on X, Newsom claimed Trump did not call him or leave a voicemail in the past day. 4 Trump announced Saturday that he was deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to help quell the violence. Toby Canham for NY Post 'There was no call. Not even a voicemail. Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn't even know who he's talking to,' Newsom posted to X Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by video of Trump in the Oval Office. 'This call is from 3 days ago,' the governor's press office added on X following the White House's pushback on Newsom's claim that Trump did not call. Newsom's office added in an email to Fox News Digital Tuesday that: 'The Governor's comment is clearly in regards to the President's comment this morning of 'a day ago,'' adding that Newsom had already confirmed his Saturday phone call in a media interview on Sunday. 4 Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks during an address on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. AP Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon added in a comment to the Sacramento Bee Tuesday: 'I just personally looked through the governor's phone. No missed call. No voicemail. Nothing. The last time they spoke was Friday when the governor called him.' Los Angeles descended into violent riots Friday when federal immigration officials converged on the city to carry out raids targeting illegal immigrants. Local leaders such as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Newsom, however, quickly denounced the raids in public statements while offering words of support for illegal immigrants in the state. Protests over the raids soon devolved into violence as rioters targeted and launched attacks on federal law enforcement officials. 4 Serious disorder takes place in downtown Los Angeles hundredsof law enforcement are deployed as are National Guard. Toby Canham for NY Post Trump announced Saturday that he was deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to help quell the violence. The Trump administration also deployed hundreds of U.S. Marines to respond to anti-immigration chaos on Monday evening as the violence continued. 'If I didn't 'SEND IN THE TROOPS' to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now,' Trump posted to Truth Social on Tuesday morning.
