Their clash over Trump’s deployment of military forces for anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is far from the first time the two leaders have butted heads.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them in response to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

California Governor Gavin Newsom offered some cutting words on social media for President Donald Trump Thursday as he battled to retain command of the state’s National Guard. He might have spoken too soon.

After the president admitted his current immigration policy is hurting American businesses, the California governor had a fiery response.

Gavin Newsom brutally mocked Trump over his scheduled military parade, comparing him to dictators and calling Trump's desire for such a parade "small."

The California Governor did not hold back during a news conference in San Francisco, accusing Trump of putting on a "vulgar display" while also claiming the President was weak.

Gavin Newsom (D) warned in a primetime address Tuesday amid President Donald Trump’s military response to the Los Angeles protests that this “assault” on democracy will spread across the country if Trump continues to go unchecked.

The California governor and Republican president have clashed over troop deployments to quell the Los Angeles riots.

"This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers and even our National Guard at risk. That's when the downward spiral began." Start the day smarter.

An escalating clash pits a Republican president looking to fulfill his mass deportation goals against a Democratic governor with White House aspirations hoping to mobilize opposition.

"Come and get me, tough guy. I don't give a damn," Newsom said after saying border czar Tom Homan had threatened to arrest him for speaking out on ICE raids.
