Newsom, widely assumed to be a leading contender for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket, fired back at criticism with a barrage of social media posts.

It's been five days since anti-ICE demonstrations erupted in Los Angeles, some turning violent between protesters and law enforcement officers, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines.

Across the country, marchers similarly took to the streets in New York City in an anti-ICE protest that began in Foley Square, across from where immigration enforcement operations have been centered. Protests have have also been seen in San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta and more.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed the public on Tuesday, criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump for his response to anti-ICE protests and warning of a broader assault on democracy.

Accusing him of “turning the military against American citizens," California Governor Newsom moved to stop President Trump from using the military to quell the anti-ICE riots in L.A.

Tensions flared in Los Angeles late Monday. On Tuesday, teams worked to scrub away, cover up or fade out protesters' graffiti.

Gov. Katie Hobbs disagrees with President Donald Trump's decision to send 700 Marines and around 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles.

A vehicle was seen speeding through the crowd and several protesters were detained during the Tuesday demonstration that drew thousands to downtown Chicago protesting the Trump administration's stepped-up use of force against immigrants.

Armed National Guard troops are accompanying immigration agents as they carry out mass deportation raids on the streets of Los Angeles, multiple sources told The Post.
