Speaking to reporters on Thursday, August 28, Trump Administration Border Czar Tom Homan went nuclear on far-left California Governor Gavin Newsom, accusing the woke governor of being an “embarrassment” given how he has fought against taking any action to make California’s cities safer and free from criminality.
As background, the Trump Administration has taken a slew of actions to start cracking down on illegal immigration and deal with the vast number of illegal aliens who are living in America and, the Trump Administration contends, committing a host of crimes that put Americans at risk.
Instead of being grateful for the Trump Administration’s efforts to deal with the illegal immigration problem in his state, such as with the massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across Los Angeles that have taken the media by storm, Gov. Newsom has freaked out, even going so far as to declare that ICE is President Donald Trump’s “private police force.”
Specifically, Gov. Newsom alleged that the point of expanding ICE funding in the Big, Beautiful Bill was to create such a force for the president, saying, “When they’re done with this — all that funding and that ‘big beautiful betrayal’ allows more resources for this private police force that increasingly is showing a tendency not to swear an oath to the Constitution, but to the president of the United States.”
It was in response to that comment from the woke governor that Mr. Homan sounded off, telling reporters that Gavin Newsom is an utter disgrace for how he has used his position to fight against immigration enforcement. He began, “Newsom is an embarrassment to the position he holds. Hard stop.”
Continuing, the border czar argued that the governor should really be thanking President Trump and the brave men and women who serve in ICE for taking immense personal risks to make Los Angeles safer, saying, “If he had an ounce of integrity he’d be calling President Trump and thanking him for making LA safer.”
Building on that point, Mr. Homan further argued that a great many criminal elements are being taken off the streets, to the benefit of Californians, saying, “He’d be calling the head of ICE and thanking them for the thousands of criminals, public safety threats they’ve taken off the streets of California.”

Still not done, the Border Czar argued that Newsom should thank DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as well, as the data will confirm that criminals are being taken off the streets. He said, “He’d be calling Secretary Noem, thanking her. If the data proves it, anybody can look at the data who we’ve arrested in California, he ought to be thanking us.”
Concluding, and getting in yet another jab at the woke California Governor, Mr. Homan said, “So Governor Newsom is an embarrassment to the position he holds. And, you know, he’s trying to be relevant apparently, whatever. But we’re gonna be in LA today, we’re gonna be in LA tomorrow, we’re gonna be in every California city. We’ll be in San Diego, I was in San Diego.”
