Homan clarified that he did not threaten Newsom with arrest but indicated that if the governor were to obstruct immigration efforts, he could face prosecution. This <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >statement arose amid tensions surrounding<\/a> the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles during recent riots, where Homan criticized local officials for their inaction. Newsom has publicly challenged Homan,inviting him to arrest him following this warning. Homan reiterated his stance, asserting that even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-bidens-education-department-has-closer-ties-to-crt-group-than-they-admit\/\" title=\"REPORT: Biden\u2019s Education Department Has Closer Ties To CRT Group Than They Admit\">high-ranking officials<\/a> like Newsom must adhere to the law, just as anyone else would. He also pointed out that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will increase its presence in sanctuary cities as part of ongoing enforcement efforts. Additionally, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the federal government has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals involved in the riots, reinforcing the message that violations against federal officers will have serious consequences.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Tom Homan says Newsom and Bass will be prosecuted if they choose to &lsquo;cross the line&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2144031\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Border czar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tom-homan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Tom Homan<\/a> denied threatening to arrest Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Gavin Newsom<\/a> (D-CA) amid the Los Angeles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3435277\/los-angeles-immigration-riots-trump-national-guard-what-to-know\/\" title=\"\">riots<\/a>, but stressed that &ldquo;no one&rsquo;s above the law&rdquo; in preventing the deportation of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom and President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3435252\/trump-relishes-fight-newsom-los-angeles-riots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">have been feuding online<\/a> over the decision to deploy the National Guard to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/los-angeles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Los Angeles<\/a>, where Homan said things were &ldquo;out of control&rdquo; and the governor and Mayor Karen Bass did &ldquo;nothing.&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3435136\/newsom-taunts-tom-homan-arrest-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Newsom has since encouraged Homan to <\/a>arrest him after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tom-homan-puts-democrats-on-notice-warns-not-to-cross-that-line-as-trump-team-plans-to-deal-with-border-crisis\/\" title=\"...
