周一，唐纳德·特朗普总统和加利福尼亚州民主党州长加文·纽瑟姆在处理抗议活动方面的对抗升级洛杉矶由特朗普的移民镇压引发。
在纽瑟姆反对特朗普在未经他同意的情况下派遣国民警卫队后，特朗普周一下午也下令数百名海军陆战队士兵进入该市。
周一早些时候，特朗普在戴维营度过周末后回到白宫，他告诉记者，如果他是“边境沙皇”汤姆·霍曼，他将逮捕纽瑟姆——就在霍曼说“没有讨论”逮捕纽瑟姆的几个小时后。
“如果我是汤姆，我就会这样做。我认为这很棒，”特朗普在南草坪告诉记者。
纽瑟姆迅速回击。
“总统阁下美国“刚刚呼吁逮捕一名现任州长，”纽瑟姆在Instagram上发布了一段特朗普评论的视频。这是我希望永远不会在美国看到的一天。我不在乎你是民主党人还是共和党人，作为一个国家，这是我们不能跨越的一条线——这是迈向威权主义的一个明确无误的步骤。"
“这些是独裁者的行为，而不是总统的行为，”纽瑟姆在x上发帖说。
在周一下午的一次白宫活动中，美国广播公司(ABC)新闻驻白宫记者卡伦·特拉弗斯(Karen Travers)问特朗普，纽瑟姆犯了什么罪，应该逮捕他。
“我认为他的主要罪行是竞选州长，因为他做得太糟糕了，”特朗普回应道。
霍曼本人周一早些时候反驳了他要逮捕纽瑟姆和洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯的想法，他们都是民主党人。
在周末接受NBC新闻采访时，霍曼没有排除这种可能性——这促使纽森回应道:“他知道在哪里能找到我。”
周一早上，霍曼在接受福克斯采访时，进一步评论了他对NBC的言论。
“记者问到，‘州长、州长纽森或市长巴斯会被逮捕吗?我说，‘嗯，没有人可以凌驾于法律之上，如果他们越界犯罪的话。他们当然可以。所以，没有关于逮捕纽瑟姆的讨论，”他说。
“我已经说过很多次了，你可以抗议，你得到了第一修正案的权利，但是当你越过那条线，你就对ICE官员动手，或者你破坏了财产，或者ICE说你妨碍了执法...这是一种犯罪，特朗普政府不会容忍这种行为。你越过这条线，我们将在司法部起诉，”霍曼说。
在总统建议逮捕纽瑟姆后，众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊表达了对总统的支持。
“我第一次听说坐在总统旁边，当他们在白宫问他这个问题的时候。我不知道这一切都涉及什么，但他在那里发表了评论，我将坚持他的说法，”约翰逊说，并补充说，他也同意特朗普派遣国民警卫队的决定，预计这将产生“威慑效果”。
“我们必须维护法治，如果州和地方领导人不能或不愿意这样做，联邦政府有责任介入，”约翰逊在白宫外对记者说。
特朗普周一还对他周末决定向加州部署国民警卫队的决定加倍下注，不顾纽瑟姆的反对。
特朗普在2020年表示，需要州长的请求才能派遣国民警卫队。周一，美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)问特朗普，从那时到现在，他的声明发生了什么变化。
“嗯，与那份声明最大的变化是，我们有一个不称职的州长，”特朗普说。特朗普声称，他的政府正在“解决他的问题”。
“我的意思是，我认为我们已经控制得很好了。我认为这将是一个非常糟糕的情况。它朝着错误的方向前进。它现在正朝着正确的方向前进，”特朗普说。
特朗普长期以来一直表示希望通过使用军队来镇压他认为危险的抗议活动，尽管1878年的《波塞委员会法案》基本上禁止在美国领土上使用联邦军队。特朗普在这种情况下根据美国法典第10条部署了国民警卫队。
当被问及他是否会在周一向洛杉矶部署海军陆战队时，特朗普说“我们将拭目以待。”
在总统发表评论后不久，一名美国官员向美国广播公司证实，来自加利福尼亚州二十九棕榈镇的700名海军陆战队员已被命令在洛杉矶街头提供协助，尽管尚不清楚他们具体将扮演什么角色。
纽瑟姆说，该州正在就特朗普部署国民警卫队起诉政府。
“他点燃了大火，并非法行动，将国民警卫队联邦化，”纽瑟姆在社交媒体上写道。“他签署的命令不仅仅适用于CA。这将允许他进入任何状态，做同样的事情。我们要起诉他。”
'Acts of a dictator': Newsom lashes out at Trump after arrest threat
President Donald Trump and California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom escalated their confrontation on Monday over the handling of protests inLos Angelestriggered by Trump's immigration crackdown.
After Newsom had objected to Trump sending in the National Guard without his consent, Trump on Monday afternoon ordered hundreds of Marines into the city as well.
Earlier Monday, arriving back at the White House after spending the weekend at Camp David, Trump had told reporters he would arrest Newsom if he were "border czar" Tom Homan -- hours after Homan said there had been "no discussion" about arresting Newsom.
"I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great," Trump told reporters on the South Lawn.
Newsom quickly fired back.
"The President of theUnited Statesjust called for the arrest of a sitting Governor," Newsom posted on Instagram along with a video of Trump's comments. "This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation -- this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."
"These are the acts of a dictator, not a President," Newsom posted on X.
At a White House event Monday afternoon, Trump was asked by ABC News White House Correspondent Karen Travers what crime Newsom had committed that would warrant his arrest.
"I think his primary crime is running for governor because he's done such a bad job," Trump responded.
Homan himself earlier Monday pushed back on the idea he was going to arrest Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, both Democrats.
In an interview with NBC News over the weekend, Homan had not ruled out the possibility -- prompting Newsom to respond: "He knows where to find me."
Homan on Monday morning, during an interview on Fox, commented further on his remarks to NBC.
"The reporter asked about, 'Could Governor, Governor Newsom, or Mayor Bass, be arrested? I said, 'Well, no one's above the law, if they cross the line and commit a crime. Absolutely they can.' So, there was no discussion about arresting Newsom," he said.
"I've said it many times, You can protest, you got your First Amendment rights, but when you cross that line, you put hands on an ICE officer, or you destroy property, or ICE says that you're impeding law enforcement ... That's a crime, and that the Trump administration is not going to tolerate. You cross that line we're gonna see prosecution in the Department of Justice," Homan said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed solidarity with the president after the president suggested Newsom should be arrested.
"I heard that for the first time sitting next to the president when they asked him that question at the White House. I don't know what all that involves, but he gave comment there, and I'll stick by what he said," Johnson said, adding that he also agrees with the Trump's decision to send in the National Guard, predicting it will have a "deterrent effect."
"We have to maintain the rule of law, and if the state and local leaders are unable or unwilling to do so, it is the job of the federal government to step in," Johnson told reporters outside the White House.
Trump on Monday also doubled down on his decision over the weekend to deploy the National Guard to California, over Newsom's objections.
Trump said in 2020 that a request from a governor was needed to send in the National Guard. On Monday, ABC News asked Trump what changed between his statement then and now.
"Well, the biggest change from that statement is we have an incompetent governor," Trump said. Trump contended his administration was "straightening out his problems."
"I mean, I think we have it very well under control. I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction," Trump said.
Trump has long expressed a desire to quash protests he considered dangerous by using the military, though the use of federal troops on U.S. soil is mostly prohibited by the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. Trump deployed the National Guard in this situation under Title 10 of the U.S. Code.
Asked if he would deploy Marines to Los Angeles on Monday, Trump had said "we'll see what happens."
Shortly after the president's comments, a U.S. official confirmed to ABC News 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms, California, had been ordered to assist on the streets of Los Angeles, although it was unclear exactly what role they would play.
Newsom said the state is suing the administration over Trump deploying the National Guard.
"He flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard," Newsom wrote on social media. "The order he signed doesn't just apply to CA. It will allow him to go into ANY STATE and do the same thing. We're suing him."
