California Gov. Newsom slams Trump over ICE raids on six-month anniversary of LA wildfires

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on July 7, 2025 slams US President Donald Trump over ICE raids carried out in Los Angeles on the six-month anniversary of the city's devastating wildfires. Newsom called the US president 'weak' and said he had a 'polluted heart' after immigration agents swarmed Los Angeles' famed MacArthur park earlier on the same day. 'What a disgrace what's happening in MacArthur Park. What theater. On the six-month anniversary, after all, of these fires, that's the message from the polluted heart of the President of the United States... It says everything you and I need to know about the state of mind of the President of the United States and this administration,' Newsom told reporters. Donald Trump owns that. He owns the cruelty. He owns the arrogance, not just the ignorance. It's by definition weakness. Only a weak person puts on a show like that,' he added.

00:00What a disgrace what's happening in MacArthur Park.
00:05What theater.
00:06On the six-month anniversary, after all, of these fires, that's the message from the
00:12polluted heart of the President of the United States, the polluted heart of Stephen Miller.
00:19Those National Guard men and women that were out there protecting people are now being
00:23used as political pawns, out there on horsebacks running through soccer fields in the middle
00:28of the day, timed around announcements and events like this, says everything you and
00:39I need to know about the state of mind of the President of the United States in this administration.
00:48So to those that feel torn asunder by everything that's happened over the course of the last
00:55six months.
00:57Notably highlighted and reinforced last six weeks and over the course last 60 minutes day.
01:04Like today.
01:06I want folks to know we have your back.
01:08And we'll continue to come back and do what we can to protect our diverse communities.
01:14To protect the spirit that defines the best of this city and our state.
01:19And to push back against this cruelty.
01:22To push back against this cruelty.
01:26That is being perpetuated by the President of the United States.
01:32Well, look, you got estimated 41 percent of our workforce in the construction side.
01:36And that's a unique California stat.
01:38We have much higher Texas and California of the two highest percentage of people without documentation,
01:43immigrants working in our constructions, unions and trades.
01:47People that are also not in the unions and trades.
01:50And so it's foundational to our recovery for him to, you know, intentionally do what he did today.
02:00They know what they're doing and and then again, they have no idea what they're doing.
02:07And their ignorance is legendary and the impacts of this will be felt in the recovery and that's on them.
02:15Donald Trump owns that.
02:17He owns the cruelty.
02:18He owns the arrogance, not just the ignorance.
02:23It's by definition weakness, only a weak person puts on a show like that with horses and bringing the National Guard.
02:35At this moment, it's appropriate to remind ourselves that there are people that are not here.
02:41Thirty lives that were lost because of this tragedy.
02:45Altadena, the average life lost was 77 years old.
02:49You had great grandparents, not just grandparents.
02:53You had a father and a son that died.
02:55You had brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles that perished in this fire.
03:00Thirty lives lost, I hope, puts in perspective the moment we're in.
03:07And I hope it also puts in perspective how blessed, Bishop, we are to be here.
03:15To be members, many of you, of this remarkable community.
03:22And to have the opportunity to be part of this recovery.
03:27Recovery, after all, is what defines us.
03:30It's not what happens to us, it's how we respond to what happens to us.
03:36And I just want to thank President Joe Biden for being there and initiating this process
03:41and affording us the opportunity to be in the position we are today.
03:50The baton was passed to the Trump administration, and they have honored that commitment.
03:58As a consequence of that, we went through phase one and phase two, with over $2 billion of
04:04federal resources invested.
04:07We secured an additional $3-plus billion for many Angelino South, the Woolsey Fire, 132 homes
04:14per month.
04:15We are now entering the next phase.
04:19And again, an historic pace.
04:21And we have to maintain that same mindset, that same intentionality, the same deliberative
04:26focus.
04:27And we have to be, I think, mindful with humility and grace of the magnitude of what is being
04:34asked of us going forward.
04:36But one thing that is critical is that we go forward together.
