Newsom's 2028 presidential aspirations hang in the balance as the eyes of the nation are on California's clash with immigration authorities.

Newsom, widely assumed to be a leading contender for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket, fired back at criticism with a barrage of social media posts.

Former George W. Bush adviser Scott Jennings said that Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom just launched his presidential campaign Tuesday night amid the ongoing protests and riots over Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE) raids in California. Newsweek reached out to Newsom's office via email for comment on Tuesday.

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

Newsom said he's been forced to think about what would happen in the event the Trump administration did secure a federal warrant for his arrest.

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”

Trump said he “called him up,” and defended his decision to send National Guard troops and Marines to the Los Angeles area after protests over his immigration policies erupted. He said he told Newsom he has to do a better job.
