Homan Threatens To Arrest CA Gov And LA Mayor

The Washington Post reports:

White House border czar Tom Homan said in an interview on NBC News on Sunday that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) could be arrested and prosecuted by the Department of Justice if they impede federal immigration actions.

Homan said it’s a felony to impede law enforcement from doing their jobs. “If she crossed that line, we’ll ask DOJ to prosecute,” Homan said, referring to Bass. “I don’t think she’s crossed the line yet. But the warning we’re sending is, we’re not going to tolerate people attacking our officers.”

Several political leaders in California, including Newsom, have criticized the deployment of the National Guard, saying that demonstrations against immigration raids have been peaceful and the troops would just add to tensions.

“Gov. Newsom is an embarrassment to this state,” says Border Czar Tom Homan.
