Gavin Newsom Freaks Out at Live Rally — Trump Just ARRESTED Them in Front of Everyone description: Huge developme
U.S. Border Patrol agents maintained a visible presence outside an anti-Trump rally hosted by California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in Los Angeles on Thursday, making at least one arrest.
Newsom — rumored to harbor presidential ambitions and one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics — staged the event, dubbed “Liberation Day,” to unveil his plans for countering the GOP’s redistricting effort in Texas.
In a social media post just ahead of the rally, Newsom, who is widely seen as a potential 2028 Democratic presidental contender, predicted that “Donald Trump and [Texas Governor] Greg Abbott are going to have a very bad day today.”
Video captured by local affiliate Fox 11 and obtained by Fox News showed more than a dozen armed, masked Border Patrol agents positioned just outside the rally. The footage depicts agents escorting a man away in handcuffs as onlookers shouted in protest.
Speaking with Fox 11, Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino explained, “We’re here making Los Angeles a safer place.”
“Since we won’t have politicians who will do that, we do that ourselves. So, that’s why we’re here today. As you can see, already making it a safer place,” said Bovino.
He noted further: “We’re glad to be here, not going anywhere.”
Bovino was then asked what message, if any, he had for Gov. Newsom, to which he replied: “Again, we’re making Los Angeles a safer place, we’re going to continue to do that, and they can take that one to the bank and cash it.”
Newsom’s office sent an all-caps email response to Fox News Digital regarding the presence of Border Patrol and ICE officers at his rally: “WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY WEAK LITTLE DONALD TRUMP, THE CRIMINAL PRESIDENT!”
During the rally, Newsom’s social media team also posted, “TRUMP’S PRIVATE ARMY IS ILLEGALLY ON PRIVATE PROPERTY!!!!” However, no effort was made by Newsom’s administration or the city of Los Angeles to try and remove the federal agents.
The Democratic governor acknowledged the agents’ presence during his speech. “Right outside at this exact moment are dozens and dozens of ICE agents,” he said.
“Do you think it’s coincidental?” he asked. “Donald Trump and his minions, Tom Homan, tough guy. Decided, coincidentally or not, that this was a location to advance ICE arrests. Indiscriminate? Perhaps. we’ll find out later.”
“Wake up, America. this is a serious moment. Wake up to what’s going on. Wake up to the fear, anxiety. Wake up to what’s happening. Not just here in Los Angeles, where we saw our streets militarized, where we saw our due process rights thrown out the window,” Newsom added. “That’s Trump’s America. That’s the moment we’re living in. So, these are sober times.”
One of voters’ biggest concerns heading into the 2024 election was the obscene amount of illegal immigration during President Joe Biden’s term. Trump’s Democratic opponent, now former Vice President Kamala Harris, was tasked with solving the border issue but failed miserably.
Meanwhile, Newsom got some additional bad news this week.
A new poll shows that California voters want to keep the state’s independent redistricting commission, even as Newsom pushes to shift that power temporarily back to the state’s Democratic-controlled legislature.
Newsom aims to redraw California’s political maps in a way that benefits Democrats, countering President Donald Trump’s push for Texas lawmakers to do the same in favor of Republicans.
A POLITICO–Citrin Center–Possibility Lab survey found that only 36% of registered California voters support giving congressional redistricting authority back to state lawmakers, while 64% want to keep the independent commission in place.
Among party lines, 66% of Republicans, 61% of Democrats, and 72% of independents favor keeping the commission. Just 28% of independents support transferring the power to the legislature, the Washington Examiner reported, citing the survey.
Ilhan Omar Arrested - Refused to Leave and Fought Police
Minneapolis, Minnesota - June 16, 2026
Newly released police records show that Rep. Ilhan Omar was arrested for trespassing in 2013 after refusing multiple orders to leave a Minneapolis hotel lobby. According to the Hennepin County police report, Omar became argumentative with officers and physically resisted when police attempted to escort her from the premises.
The incident occurred on January 18, 2013, after an event at the Minneapolis Convention Center featuring former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Large crowds followed the presidential convoy to the Hotel Ivy, where the president was staying. Hotel staff requested police assistance to clear the lobby, stating that only guests with room keys were permitted to remain.
When an officer approached Omar and asked her to leave, she refused. The report states that Omar was “argumentative” and stood her ground.
“As she stood her ground and refused to leave, I took hold of her left elbow to escort her from the lobby. Omar then pulled away from me, stating, ‘Don’t put your hands on me!’” the officer wrote.
Ten minutes later, the same officer found Omar seated in another area of the lobby. After being informed she would be arrested for trespassing if she did not leave, Omar again refused to comply.
The officer attempted to handcuff her while she remained seated in a chair. Omar pulled away during the arrest. She was ultimately booked into Hennepin County Jail.
“Omar was booked at [Hennepin County Jail] as I felt it was likely that she would fail to respond to a citation, and she also demonstrated that she was going to continue her criminal behavior,” the officer wrote in the report.
The newly surfaced document adds to the long list of controversies surrounding the Minnesota congresswoman.
Hannah Dugan Sentenced to 10 Years: Ex-Judge Helped Undocumented Immigrant Flee ICE in Court
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — June 16, 2026
THE SENTENCING HEARING for former Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan has been postponed indefinitely as a federal court takes under advisement a high-stakes defense motion aimed at completely overturning her felony conviction.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman opted to halt the scheduled June 3, 2026 proceedings to consider extensive oral arguments regarding recent appellate case law and procedural standards that could render the baseline foundation of the government's case legally invalid.
Dugan, 67, faces a statutory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison following a split verdict delivered by a federal jury in December 2025. The panel found her guilty of one felony count of obstructing an official federal proceeding but acquitted her on a misdemeanor charge of concealing an individual from arrest.
The criminal charges stem from a highly controversial April 18, 2025 incident inside the Milwaukee County Courthouse involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and an undocumented immigrant.
"The defense maintains that the administrative execution of a standard immigration warrant does not meet the strict statutory definitions of an official federal proceeding required under obstruction laws."
The structural trial evidence demonstrated that ICE agents arrived at the county courthouse to detain Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national who had re-entered the United States illegally and was appearing before Dugan on a state misdemeanor battery matter.
According to official court testimony, Dugan confronted the agents outside her courtroom door, informing them that their administrative paperwork did not authorize a summary arrest within her state court facility. She then directed the officers to the chief judge's office before utilizing a private jury exit corridor to escort Flores-Ruiz and his defense attorney safely out of the building.
Agents remaining in the immediate vicinity observed the departure and apprehended Flores-Ruiz outside the municipal facility following a short foot chase.
Dugan resigned from her judicial seat shortly after the split jury verdict was finalized. While many legal observers originally anticipated a multi-year prison sentence if the felony conviction stood, first-time nonviolent offenders can alternatively receive probation or non-custodial outcomes depending on judicial discretion.
"The prosecution continues to push back forcefully against the request for a new trial, maintaining that the jury’s original verdict rested on sufficient, verified evidence and correctly applied federal law."
The case has commanded national attention from legal scholars as an unprecedented early test of a state court judge facing criminal prosecution for actions intersecting with federal immigration enforcement. The ongoing dispute has exposed deep rifts over the absolute authority of state jurists, courthouse safe-haven policies, and the true legal boundaries of domestic judicial discretion.
Judge Adelman did not issue an immediate ruling from the bench following the conclusion of oral arguments, stating that a comprehensive written order will follow. Consequently, the former judge's sentencing remains on hold until the court determines whether the underlying felony conviction will stand or be permanently vacated.
