JD Vance Criticizes Gavin Newsom Over LA Protests, Immigration Policies

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Vice President JD Vance have engaged in a heated public dispute over the handling of recent riots and protests in Los Angeles, which have been triggered by President Trump's immigration policies. Trump deployed National Guard troops and Marines to the area to manage violent protests against immigration enforcement, prompting Newsom to accuse the president of inciting chaos and authoritarianism after Trump suggested Newsom's arrest. Newsom has framed the crisis as a consequence of Trump's immigration stance, while Vance and other Republicans blame Newsom's policies for encouraging illegal immigration and failing to maintain order. The conflict has escalated on social media, with Newsom calling Trump's arrest suggestion a dangerous precedent, and Vance urging Newsom to take responsibility and manage the situation effectively. The situation underscores deep partisan divisions, with critics accusing Newsom of prioritizing political messaging over leadership amid the unrest. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between California's Democratic leadership and the Trump administration over immigration enforcement and public safety.
