An escalating clash pits a Republican president looking to fulfill his mass deportation goals against a Democratic governor with White House aspirations hoping to mobilize opposition.

The new line of attack from Newsom, who is widely considered a top contender for president in 2028, comes after he told Fox LA earlier this week that Trump “is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he’s incapable now of even a train of thought. He’s making things up.”

The curfew extends to sections of downtown Los Angeles where protests have turned into instances of vandalism and looting.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom questions Trump's mental and physical ability as their clash over immigration enforcement rages on.
