Vice President JD Vance will travel to Los Angeles on Friday for a visit to a city where clashes between protesters and law enforcement officials have become a focal point of the opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration agenda.

While in Los Angeles, Vance is expected to deliver remarks as well as tour federal facilities, including a mobile command center, and meet with Marines.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and potential 2028 presidential contender, didn’t receive formal notice about Vance’s trip in advance, the governor’s deputy director of communications, Brandon Richards, said in a statement.
