Trump Administration and ICE

California Gov. Gavin Newsom walked back his earlier characterization of Minnesota ICE operations as "state‑sponsored terrorism," telling Ben Shapiro that "our ICE officers obviously are not terrorists" and acknowledging his rhetoric made politics worse. The White House blasted the reversal — spokeswoman Abigail Jackson called Newsom an "inauthentic slimeball" who smeared ICE and then threw staff under the bus, accused his language of risking incitement and said he "will never be ready for primetime."
