California Governor Gavin Newsom threatened President Trump and ICE agents on Tuesday as midterm elections were underway.
ICE fired off a warning to individuals who vote illegally: “If you vote illegally, we will find you. We will track you down, arrest you, and prosecute you.”
If you vote illegally, we will find you. We will track you down, arrest you, and prosecute you.
There will be no escape.

Newsom responded to ICE and threatened to arrest federal agents in an unhinged tweetstorm.
“If YOU show up to the polls illegally, we will find you. We will track you down, arrest you, and prosecute you. There will be no escape,” Newsom said to ICE.

Newsom posted another warning to “Donald Trump’s Thugs.”

If you violate California’s laws, if you interfere with the vote, you will be prosecuted.

In a third tweet, Newsom threatened President Trump.
Donald Trump: If you meddle in our election, California will come for you.

On Monday evening, Newsom threatened anyone who ‘interferes’ with California’s ballot counting in an unhinged video message on the eve of the midterm elections.
Newsom slammed President Trump and warned that poll watchers who ‘meddle’ in California’s ballot counting will be hit with felonies.
“Donald Trump is trying to throw out 20,000 California ballots and intimidate election workers. Let me be clear, if you interfere with our elections, California will come for you. No presidential pardon will save you,” Newsom said.
“If you interfere with our voters, you will be prosecuted with a felony. If you tamper with our ballots, you will face justice. It doesn’t matter who gave the order. Meddle in California’s elections and California will come for you,” Newsom said.
Newsom continued, “And don’t count on a pardon. The President can’t pardon you out of California justice.”
