The press office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, meanwhile, also seized on the attention, writing on X, “Superman was an undocumented immigrant.” Newsom has been challenging Trump’s deployment of the National Guard amid protests over ICE raids.

With ICE raids blanketing California like a fog of bad decisions, Newsom and team have been vocal critics. So when the White House posted its Trump-as-Superman meme, Newsom's office responded with a reminder that was both factual and surgical: “Superman was an undocumented immigrant.”

White House posted a photo of Donald Trump edited into a Superman costume. Many users criticized the post, demanding transparency surrounding “Epstein files."
