Vance heads to LA as Trump maintains National Guard control amid riots

Fox News reported that Vice President JD Vance will be heading to Los Angeles amidst anti-ICE riots. The Vice President is scheduled to visit a multiagency Federal Joint Operations Center and a Federal Mobile Command Center upon arrival. During his visit, he will meet with leadership and U.S. Marines.

President Trump has expressed his concerns about the ongoing riots in Los Angeles and has ordered the National Guard to assist law enforcement. In addition, hundreds of Marines have been deployed to support law enforcement efforts. California Governor Gavin Newsom had filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for taking control of the National Guard. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of President Trump, allowing him to maintain command of the National Guard troops in Los Angeles.

Vice President Vance is expected to address the destruction caused by the violent protests and criticize California politicians for disregarding federal laws and law enforcement. Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate the court’s decision, praising the Ninth Circuit for upholding his authority to deploy the National Guard.

This decision marks a significant shift in power dynamics between the federal government and state governors when it comes to deploying the National Guard. The last time a president made a decision regarding the National Guard deployment without the state governor’s permission was in 1965.

Brooke Singman, a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News, provided these details in the exclusive report. The Vice President’s visit to Los Angeles comes at a critical time, as tensions are high due to the anti-ICE riots. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
