NEED TO KNOW
- Governor Gavin Newsom dares Trump’s team to arrest him and says he’s ready for the challenge.
- National Guard troops spent more time in LA traffic and at taco trucks than breaking up protests.
- While lawyers prepare lawsuits, Californians debate: Who gets arrested first—Newsom or a street taco chef?
California’s New Game Show: Who Gets Arrested?
Gavin Newsom wasted no time in firing back at Trump. He looked right at Tom Homan and said, “Come after me, arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy!” As a result, Californians immediately began to imagine a new reality show: “Who Wants to Arrest a Governor?” Meanwhile, cable news couldn’t get enough of the drama.
National Guard Chooses Tacos Over Tension
Trump promised that the National Guard would restore order. However, LA drivers just saw troops stuck on the 405, debating the best salsa and chatting up taco truck workers. While some people watched the protests, others joined the line for street tacos, proving that even the military can’t resist LA’s food scene.
Legal Drama and Political Chaos
Newsom’s legal team jumped into action, filing a lawsuit against Trump and his team. They argued that Trump’s order ignored every rule in the book. At the same time, Trump went on Truth Social to claim everything was under control, even though most of his troops hadn’t made it out of traffic.
LA Puts Its Money on Tacos and Trouble
Right now, the city can’t decide what’s more likely: Newsom in handcuffs or a taco truck shutting down from too much business. In LA, everyone loves a good legal fight, but they love a good taco even more. That’s what makes the city special.
