President Donald Trump on June 9 said he would support the arrest of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for obstructing ICE sweeps in Los Angeles.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declined to say Tuesday whether he believes California Gov. Gavin Newsom should be arrested — but he did say that the Democrat should be "tarred and feathered." Why it matters: President Trump and White House border czar Tom Homan have both floated the idea of arresting California officials — including Newsom — for allegedly impeding deportations.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has clashed with several GOP officials over the hostile LA protests from Vice President JD Vance to U.S. Senator Tom Cotton.
