President Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have engaged in an escalating war of words that included Trump saying it would be "a great thing" if Homan arrested the California governor. "CBS Evening News" co-anchor John Dickerson asked Homan about the comments.

President Donald Trump hit back at Gov. Gavin Newsom's claims that the president did not call him recently, showing a screenshot of the call to Fox News.

Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.

Some demonstrations have turned violent as protesters clashed with police, and in an extraordinary series of moves, Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guard members and 700 U.S. Marines to the city — all in opposition to California governor Gavin Newsom.

4:56 p.m. EDT U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer turned down Newsom’s request for an emergency ruling that would have blocked federal troop deployment in Los Angeles, giving Trump until Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT to file a response to Newsom’s lawsuit (Newsom can file his response to Trump by Thursday at 12 p.m. EDT).

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”

Calling President Trump a threat to the American way of life, Governor Gavin Newsom depicted the federal military intervention in Los Angeles as the onset of a much broader effort by Trump to overturn political and cultural norms at the heart of the nation’s democracy.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he’s filed an emergency motion to block President Donald Trump’s deployment of Marines and National Guardsmen, saying the president’s actions were illegal.
