Governor Gavin Newsom said the U.S. President “manufactured” the chaos in Los Angeles to distract from challenges and seize power.

The Guard’s arrival marks a potentially volatile phase in Trump’s push to ramp up deportations and in his contentious relationship with state and local authorities.

Newsom dared Tom Homan to “arrest” him as he raged at Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard as "a manufactured crisis." The post Gavin Newsom Dares ‘Tough Guy’ Tom Homan to ‘Arrest’ Him: ‘Let’s Just Get It Over With’ first appeared on Mediaite.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration early Monday morning over the president’s deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, even as the LAPD chief admitted Sunday his cops “are overwhelmed” by the violent anti-ICE riots taking over the city.

Homeland Security Secretary Noem blamed California Gov. Newsom for the need to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles protests.

"Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest," Trump posted at 11:41 p.m. Saturday, before troops had arrived.
