California Governor Gavin Newsom is taking a stand against the Trump administration after Border Patrol agents showed up at a press conference in Los Angeles. Newsom is now officially asking the federal government for information about the whole thing, calling the incident an attempt to intimidate political opponents.
The press conference was at the Japanese American National Museum’s National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, where Newsom was announcing a new redistricting plan for California. The plan is designed to redraw congressional lines as a direct response to a similar effort in Texas, which could give the Republican Party and the president a big advantage in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.
