President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan issued a stark warning Saturday that elected officials, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, could face federal charges if they interfere with ongoing immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles. The remarks come as protests escalated for a second consecutive day following Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the city.
"I'm telling you what, we're going to keep enforcing law every day in L.A.," Homan said in an interview with NBC News. "Every day in L.A., we're going to enforce immigration law. I don't care if they like it or not." Homan said he would not hesitate to pursue charges under statutes criminalizing the harboring of undocumented immigrants or obstruction of federal officers. "You cross that line, it's a felony," he said.
Los Angeles erupted into unrest over the weekend after ICE agents executed search warrants across multiple locations, including the Fashion District and Home Depot stores. More than 40 individuals were detained Friday, and further raids continued into Saturday in Paramount. Demonstrations intensified outside federal buildings, where protesters reportedly surrounded law enforcement vehicles, hurled projectiles, and ignited fires. At least one person was struck by a vehicle, and 11 individuals were arrested for failure to disperse.
