LA Mayor Rails Against ‘Insulting’ Vance Visit: A ‘Photo-Op’

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUN 21 – Vice President JD Vance criticized California leaders for encouraging illegal immigration and unrest amid protests, supporting troop deployments to maintain order, citing federal court approval.

  • On June 20, 2025, Vice President JD Vance traveled to Los Angeles to meet with law enforcement personnel and Marines stationed there in response to the recent anti-ICE protests.
  • Vance's visit followed a federal court ruling upholding President Trump's authority to deploy federal troops without state approval amid ongoing unrest.
  • During a press briefing, Vance accused Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom of promoting violent demonstrations and hindering law enforcement operations.
  • Mayor Bass called Vance's allegations 'outright lies,' accused him of misnaming Senator Alex Padilla as 'Jose Padilla,' and labeled his press conference a 'photo-op' amid controlled vandalism.
  • The exchange deepened political tensions, highlighting conflicting narratives over law enforcement and city conditions, and suggesting continued federal-state disputes on managing unrest.
