President Donald Trump hit back at Gov. Gavin Newsom's claims that the president did not call him recently, showing a screenshot of the call to Fox News.

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

President Donald Trump was caught in a lie about the last time he spoke with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) amid the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles.

4:47 p.m. EDT The Trump administration asked the judge to reject Newsom’s request and allow it to respond by Wednesday, calling Newsom’s attempt to block the deployment of federal troops “legally meritless” and saying it would jeopardize the safety of Homeland Security personnel and interfere with the government’s ability to carry out operations.

A federal judge has declined California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) request for an immediate restraining order to stop the Trump administration from deploying military personnel to enforce immigration law.

Tuberville recently joined President Donald Trump in calling for Newsom’s arrest after he claimed the federal government was overstepping its bounds when Trump activated the National Guard -- without the governor’s permission to maintain order in Los Angeles.

President Donald Trump has built his presidency around stretching the bounds of presidential authority, and his response to protests over an immigration crackdown in Los Angeles is no exception.

Other Republicans support Trump's decision to deploy National Guard and Marines. Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday once again aligned himself with President Donald Trump, saying the president is "absolutely right" to send the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles as protests over against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue-- and sided with the president's criticism of California Gov.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”
