‘I Would Do It’: Trump Says He Would Arrest Newsom
- On Monday, June 9, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, challenging the unauthorized deployment of the National Guard, while Trump simultaneously called for Newsom's arrest.
- The lawsuit and escalation followed Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard members and activation of 700 Marines to Los Angeles without state approval amid immigration raids and protests.

- The events reveal a deepening conflict between federal and California officials over immigration enforcement and public safety, raising concerns about constitutional limits and political overreach.
