California Gov. Gavin Newsom launched a blistering attack on the Trump administration, accusing federal immigration enforcement of deliberately inflaming tensions and promoting white supremacy.

Newsom claimed President Trump is “trying to stoke a Civil War in this country” through actions like immigration raids in Minneapolis and other Democrat-controlled areas.
He described enforcement operations by DHS and ICE as a “disgrace,” saying they are “very intentionally stoking tensions” and that “white supremacy [is] being promoted.”
Newsom emphasized that such behavior is abnormal and “cannot be normalized,” without explaining how enforcing existing federal immigration laws ties to white supremacy.
His remarks came amid escalating Democratic opposition to Trump-era crackdowns, including accusations from figures like Reps. Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal labeling federal agents as operating like a “paramilitary force” causing chaos and danger in communities.
Local leaders such as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey echoed claims that enforcement is “sowing chaos on the streets,” citing incidents like unattended vehicles rolling away and children exposed to gas.
The article highlights warnings that this inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats risks encouraging interference or threats against federal agents carrying out lawful duties.
Newsom, seen as a likely 2028 Democratic presidential contender, is positioning himself as a leading national voice against Trump policies.
Critics note the historical gravity of invoking “civil war,” referencing the 700,000 deaths in the actual U.S. Civil War as a caution against such extreme language.
The piece portrays the clash as Democrats obstructing federal law enforcement while the Trump administration insists operations target illegal immigration, fraud, and crime without state interference allowed.
