Vice President JD Vance is traveling to Los Angeles on Friday as protests against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown<\/a> continue to grip the city.<\/p>\n

Vance, a Marine veteran, will tour a multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center as well as a Federal Mobile Command Center. He will also meet with leadership and Marines before giving remarks, according to his office.<\/p>\n

His visit comes as protests and law enforcement clash in Los Angeles over Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s raids and deportations — a key part of President Donald Trump’s agenda.<\/p>\n

Another conflict in the city stems from Trump’s decision to deploy thousands of National Guardsmen and hundreds of Marines to LA against Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s wishes.<\/p>\n

A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday<\/a> that Trump can keep the National Guard in Los Angeles for now — allowing the president to continue to use the military to quell protests against his deportation plans. Trump called the decision a “BIG WIN” in a social media post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Vance attacked the protests and used the events unfolding in LA to push for passage of the megabill that would advance Trump’s legislative agenda.<\/p>\n

“Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,” Vance wrote in an X post<\/a>. “Time to pass President Trump’s beautiful bill and further secure the border.”<\/p>\n

Many Democrats have spoken out against the Trump administration’s immigration practices. Last week, California Sen. Alex Padilla, a Democrat, was forcibly removed<\/a> from a Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s news conference on the topic after he said he was trying to ask a question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
