JD vance to visit Los Angeles on Friday in the middle of ice raids and demonstrations
Update, with arrival vance: Vice-president JD Vance arrived in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon for a visit to a command center, in the middle of the strident opposition of local elected officials and protests against the Ice Raids of the Trump administration.
According to the VP team, Vance will receive briefings from the Ministry of Defense, the Drug Application Agency, the Ministry of Internal Security, Immigration and Customs Application, the LAPD and the California Highway Patrol.
Earlier, the Vance office said that it “would visit a multi-Ageral Federal Operations Center, a federal mobile command center, would meet leadership and sea and have brief comments,” according to its office. Fox News Digital first reported his travel plans.
Vance is also visiting the decision of the ninth circuit which allows Donald Trump to continue to control the National Guard while the legal challenge of the State continues. In an opinion Per Curiam, a panel of three judges concluded that Trump “legally exercised his statutory authority”, rejecting the statement of the State to allow an order from the lower court to proceed.
The California Attorney General Rob Bonta called for the decision of the court “disappointing”, but said that the case was “far from over”. “Although the court has not granted immediate compensation to Angelenos today, we remain confident in our arguments and will continue the fight,” he said.
California governor Gavin Newsom continued the Trump administration after the federalized president of the National Guard, then deployed 700 navies in the region. Newsom said he had not been consulted and that the dispatch of federal troops only ignited tensions in Los Angeles. He warned that the actions of the administration are only a prelude to what will happen in other cities.
In a video published on X, Newsom urged Vance to meet those who lost their homes in devastating forest fires in January, when some parts of the Pacific Palisades and Altadena were destroyed. “It is also important also, and I honestly think that you are sitting with the President of the United States, who a few days ago, suggested that these American citizens may not obtain the support that other citizens obtain in all this country in terms of help in the event of a disaster. I hope we put this on the right track. ” Republicans have suggested that conditions should be placed on state disaster aid, while Trump on Wednesday suggested that his dust with Newsom could have an impact on the demand of $ 40 billion in California.
