Both Trump and his “border czar,” Tom Homan, have said California officials could face arrest if they’re perceived as impeding ICE operations.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed back against threats of arrest by Trump administration officials, remaining defiant as he oversees clashes between law enforcement agents and protesters in response to immigration raids across Los Angeles while also managing an ongoing power struggle with the federal government.
In an interview for MSNBC with NBC News’ Jacob Soboroff, Newsom called Homan’s bluff, urging him to “just get it over with” and move ahead with the arrest.
“He’s a tough guy. Why doesn’t he do that? He knows where to find me,” Newsom said. “That kind of bloviating is exhausting. So, Tom, arrest me. Let’s go."
Newsom is a complete coward lol, he is NOT resisting Trump meaningfully.
I mean this is exactly what i would call resisting, but i agree he is a shithead.
How is it resisting to say “arrest me”?
How do you not see that it is resistance? What a bizarre question
It’s called free speech. It’s quite simple the difference between free speech and resistance. Resistance in this context would be actually fighting physically to get away from a lawfully parameterized arrest. Even when under arrest, if someone were to say I’m not going with you, that is not resisting. By saying come arrest me that is not resistance. That is simply a taunt or a command or a suggestion or a joke or sarcasm or any other method of constitutionally protected free speech, not in the least bit resistance.
Are you responding to the comment about Rosa Parks? Because if so then I have responded to the wrong thing
Because it signals noncompliance, fucking obviously. And it is consistent with the lawsuit he’s filing, so it’s not just empty words.
JFC.
Signaling non-compliance? There is a vast gap between actually resisting and signaling. Signaling is not resisting. It’s free speech, constitutionally protected, significant case law behind it, and not actually resisting.
