California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized JD Vance, the former Ohio representative and current vice president, for vacationing at Disneyland with his family while immigration raids were underway in Los Angeles. Newsom sarcastically tweeted, *\u201dHope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you\u2019re tearing apart certainly won\u2019t,\u201d* referencing the crackdown on undocumented migrants. Vance simply replied, *\u201dHad a great time, thanks.\u201d*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vance family\u2019s Disneyland trip drew backlash, with around 150 protesters gathering at the park and nearby locations. Demonstrators held signs like *\u201dNo family vacation while we deal with family separation,\u201d* criticizing Vance\u2019s support for aggressive immigration policies. Some protesters even targeted the Grand Californian Hotel, where the family was rumored to be staying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newsom has long clashed with the Trump administration, particularly over immigration enforcement. Tensions escalated in June when Trump deployed the National Guard to counter anti-ICE protests, against Newsom\u2019s wishes. The governor has been vocal in opposing federal immigration tactics, which he views as harmful to California\u2019s communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recent raids in Anaheim and surrounding areas have sparked accusations of racial profiling, particularly in Latino neighborhoods. Over 200 undocumented immigrants were detained at a marijuana farm, with Trump authorizing arrests of protesters he called *\u201dslimeballs.\u201d* However, a judge blocked the order, ruling it unconstitutional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orange County officials were informed of Vance\u2019s visit beforehand. Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento noted the timing was sensitive, saying, *\u201dI welcome any policymaker to visit, listen, and witness the hard-working immigrant communities that make our county strong.\u201d*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarmiento added, *\u201dI respect the office, but I can\u2019t respect policies that hurt our people,\u201d* reflecting local frustration with federal immigration enforcement. The protests and political tensions highlight the ongoing divide over immigration policy in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Vance\u2019s brief response to Newsom\u2019s jab underscores the deepening partisan rift, as Democrats and Republicans remain at odds over how to handle immigration and enforcement. The incident adds to the broader national debate on the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
