HOMAN SLAMS NEWSOM AS ICE, BORDER PATROL NAB 5,000 IN L.A. CRACKDOWN

At a Politico forum and subsequent TV appearance, Border Czar Tom Homan blasted California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s criticism of ICE, vowing continued operations amid a DHS-reported surge of roughly 5,000 arrests in Los Angeles since June. The remarks follow contentious cannabis-farm raids in Ventura County and broader LA enforcement sweeps that have drawn pushback from Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass. The piece underscores an intensifying federal campaign in Southern California focused on high-priority targets and workplace operations.
