What began as a small protest against Friday’s immigration attacks has swelled into large demonstrations throughout the weekend. This is what happened.
Vice President JD Vance heads to Los Angeles to meet troops deployed to quell protests against Trump’s immigration enforcement measures.
Vance’s trip on June 20th is the highest level visit from Trump administration officials to the city that became the epicenter of the White House’s campaign to deport millions of immigrants from the country.
A summary issued by the Vice President’s Office on Friday said he will tour the multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center and the Federal Mobile Command Center in Los Angeles.
Vance, a former Marine, will meet leadership and the Marines and make brief remarks. He is also expected to hold a press conference.
