Homan Claims “No Intention To Arrest” Newsom

CBS News reports:

White House “border czar” Tom Homan told CBS News on Monday “there’s no intention to arrest” California Gov. Gavin Newsom, after President Trump suggested he was open to the idea — escalating a war of words over the protests and law enforcement response in Los Angeles.

“That whole thing’s been taken out of context,” Homan said. “They haven’t crossed a line yet … If you cross that line, I don’t care who they are — the governor, the mayor, whatever — and when you commit a crime against ICE officers, we will seek prosecution.”

When asked Monday about the idea of arresting Newsom, Mr. Trump said, “I’d do it if I were Tom,” adding, “Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing.” But Homan told CBS News he’ll “leave that up to” the Justice Department to determine whether anybody has impeded ICE.
