Gavin Newsom (D) warned in a primetime address Tuesday amid President Donald Trump’s military response to the Los Angeles protests that this “assault” on democracy will spread across the country if Trump continues to go unchecked.

California Governor Gavin Newsom took to the airwaves Tuesday night — with federal troops stationed in his state’s largest city and immigration agents rounding up residents — and warned Americans that democracy itself was under attack from President Donald Trump.

"It clearly will not end here, other states will be next, democracy is next," the California governor says in a speech Tuesday night

"Come and get me, tough guy. I don't give a damn," Newsom said after saying border czar Tom Homan had threatened to arrest him for speaking out on ICE raids.

Newsom lambasted Trump, calling him a President who “wants to be bound by no law or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American traditions.” And he repeated his assertion that Trump was “fanning the flames” in Los Angeles “on purpose.”

It’s a familiar playbook for the media-conscious governor who relishes trading blows with his sometime political foe.

Border czar Tom Homan has warned that anyone who interferes with ICE raids could face federal charges, including elected officials.

Donald Trump responded to California Governor Gavin Newsom ‘s dare to administration officials to arrest him, with the president suggesting that he would support such a move by his border czar, Tom Homan.

Demonstrations against the Trump administration’s immigration policies are expected in cities around the country Wednesday — including Los Angeles, where President Donald Trump has deployed Marines and National Guard forces over the objections of California Gov.
