Needless to say, California is not happy that the Department of Justice is suing them, rightfully, over their obnoxious sanctuary state law. That law into effect this year. It reached some tense moments when Attorney General Jeff Sessions tore into Oakland Mayor, Libby Schaaf, who recently warned her residents about scheduled ICE raids.

“Here’s my message — how dare you. How dare you needlessly endanger the lives of our law enforcement officers to promote a radical, open borders agenda,” he said at California Peace Officers Association's Annual Legislative Day earlier this month. Schaaf responded in kind, though the most eyebrow raising was the remark from California Gov. Jerry Brown, who said, “This is basically going to war against the state of California.”

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom also voiced his frustration over the ICE raids, calling the acting director Thomas Homan a “prick” (via NTK Network):

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) called the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) an “a plus prick” in an official government email obtained by NTK Network. Newsome was citing a story by SFGate.com that focused on ICE officials arresting illegal immigrants in California. In the email, sent to his sister, Hilary, Newsom wrote: “No doubt in my mind they will target us – the ice director is an a plus prick this is personal / political strategy, get ready.” […] Newsom, clearly aligning himself with Brown, is running to replace the governor in November in an incredibly crowded field. Other Democrats running include Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, state Treasurer John Chiang, and former Hillary Clinton staffer Amanda Renteria.

The primary for that contest will be held on June 5.

Yet, Newsom might be playing on both sides of this issue. When he was mayor of San Francisco, he reported illegal aliens who were arrested for crimes to ICE. All were minors and the Board of Supervisors voted in 2009 stating these undocumented youths could only be reffered to ICE if they had been convicted of a crime. Newsom disregarded the board and continued to report illegal aliens who were minors to ICE (via Mercury News):
