Vice President JD Vance is heading to Los Angeles to meet troops deployed to quell protests against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions.
Vance's trip on June 20 is the highest-level visit by a Trump administration official to a city that has become the epicenter of resistance against a White House campaign to deport millions of immigrants from the country.
A brief issued Friday by the vice president's office said he will tour a multi-agency Federal Joint Operations Center and a Federal Mobile Command Center in Los Angeles.
Vance, a former Marine, is scheduled to meet with leadership and Marines and deliver brief remarks.
Protests against ICE raids erupted in Los Angeles in early June. Nationwide "No Kings" protests against Trump’s aggressive expansion of executive power occurred on June 14 in cities across the country
