California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office has responded to President Donald Trump’s threats to send federal immigration agents to sanctuary cities.
“It looks like Steven Miller got ahold of Trump’s phone again,” Diana Crofts-Pelayo, deputy director of communications at Newsom’s office, told Newsweek.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside.”
It comes amid a backdrop of rising tensions between Newsom and Trump, who has vowed to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
