Border czar Tom Homan backtracked on his threat to arrest California Gov. Gavin Newsom over his stance regarding the immigration-related protests unfolding in Los Angeles and the Trump administration's decision to deploy National Guard troops and Marines in the city.
Speaking to CBS News, Homan said "there's no intention to arrest Newsom," claiming previous statements on the matter were "taken out of context." He had warned on Saturday that immigration enforcement operations in the city would continue despite opposition, adding that anyone who stood between agents and their goal would be arrested, even if those people are high-ranking officials.
