Gavin Newsom held a press conference to announce <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66727\" target=\"_blank\">his plan to fight back against the election rigging<\/a><\/strong> by the Republican Party via unprecedented and unlawful mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Trump. So to counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66973\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, while Newsom was presenting his plan to the press, Trump&#8217;s thugs gathered outside of the venue where the press conference was being held and began arresting people. This neo-fascist tactic was reported by Aishah Hasnie on Fox News during an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Fox News:<\/strong> This is coming from our reporters in L.A. right now, where they say that Border Patrol has arrived outside of the downtown L.A. venue where Gov. Gavin Newsom is actually holding a press conference today. And it appears that those Border Patrol agents are making arrests of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if they were at this press conference or they were in the area. But this is a very &#8216;in your face way&#8217; to let Democrats know that you are gonna do your job. That you&#8217;re gonna carry out these Trump policies. Can you just respond to this video that we&#8217;re watching right now?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Noem:<\/strong> Every single one of our ICE Border Patrol operations is built on information, on investigative work. It&#8217;s a case and an operation that has been planned because of who they think could be in that area and what they have for information that shows that there are illegal criminals there.
