Newsom Throws Shade At Trump’S Border Czar Over Fbi Bribery Drama

Newsom vs. Homan: A SoCal Political Smackdown

Hold onto your avocado toast, LA fam - California Governor Gavin Newsom is back at it, throwing major shade at President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan. This time, the drama’s hotter than a Santa Ana wind, with Newsom dragging Homan over a messy FBI bribery scandal that’s got everyone in the 213 buzzing.

Word on the street - or rather, straight from federal reports - is that Homan pocketed a cool $50,000 in cash last year from undercover FBI agents posing as shady businessmen. The alleged deal? Snag lucrative contracts if Trump secures a second term. Homan’s denying any foul play, but in true Hollywood plot-twist style, Newsom ain’t letting this slide.

Social Media Burns and Bribery Barbs

Never one to shy away from a viral moment, Newsom took to X faster than a Tesla on the 405, reposting a Newsmax interview where Homan doubled down on letting ICE agents wear masks during immigration raids in California. Newsom’s clapback? Pure West Coast savage.

“What if we give you another $50,000 in a paper bag?”

That zinger, dropped straight from his official press office account, had the internet lit up like the Hollywood sign on a Friday night. Newsom’s been building his national rep with these kinds of spicy social media moves, and this latest jab is just another notch on his belt as he squares up against Trump’s hardline immigration crew.

ICE Mask Ban: California Draws the Line

At the heart of this beef is Newsom’s upcoming “No Secret Police Act,” set to kick in by January 2026. The law bans ICE agents from rocking face masks during raids in California - a move that’s got Trump’s team hotter than a Venice Beach bonfire. Homan, who’s basically glued to Trump’s side with an office just steps from the Oval, fired back on Newsmax with a cocky “Good luck with that” when asked about Newsom’s ban.

But Newsom isn’t backing down. This isn’t just a policy fight - it’s personal. With Homan as the poster boy for Trump’s tough-on-immigration stance alongside DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the stakes are high. Add in U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli’s X post claiming California “has no jurisdiction over the federal government” and insisting agents will keep masking up, and you’ve got a showdown worthy of a Netflix series.

Bribery Allegations: The Plot Thickens

Let’s not forget the elephant in the room - those bribery claims. MSNBC dropped the bombshell that Homan’s been allegedly soliciting payments from private firms, promising government contracts if Trump wins in 2024. While Homan admits to taking the $50,000, he’s adamant he didn’t break any laws. Still, the optics? Messier than a spilled smoothie on Melrose.

We reached out to the White House press office for their take, but so far, it’s crickets. Meanwhile, here in Cali, law enforcement’s already masking up for controversial immigration raids, and tensions are running higher than rents in DTLA. Will Newsom’s ban hold up, or will Homan and Trump’s crew steamroll right over it? Grab your popcorn, SoCal - this drama’s just getting started.
