Vice President JD Vance spent the weekend at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim with his wife, Usha, and their children. Local Republican officials said the trip was strictly personal, but the family’s appearance triggered protests at the park’s gates and the adjacent Grand Californian Hotel, where they were believed to be staying. Police estimated about 100 to 150 demonstrators gathered on Friday and Saturday, many waving Mexican flags and denouncing the Trump administration’s immigration policies. The protests followed two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids on cannabis farms in Ventura County a day earlier that resulted in roughly 200 arrests and renewed criticism from immigrant-rights groups. California Governor Gavin Newsom amplified the backlash by posting video of Vance at the theme park and writing, “Hope you enjoy your family time. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t.” White House communications director Steven Cheung and other Republican figures fired back, accusing the governor of political grandstanding. Vance responded with a brief online retort—“Had a great time, thanks”—and continued his vacation without public comment. Disneyland operated normally, though several rides were briefly closed to accommodate the vice-presidential security detail. Earlier in the trip, Usha Vance visited Camp Pendleton to promote her summer reading initiative for military children.
