Vice president's rumored vacation visit to Disney resort sparks impromptu protest
Briefly

Protesters congregated at Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa following rumors of Vice President JD Vance's visit. Orange County officials received intel about the VP’s arrival, prompting Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento's comments about government trust. He welcomed policymakers but criticized harmful immigration policies affecting local communities. Sarmiento highlighted the stark difference between community support work and federal policies perceived as oppressive. There were reports of a C-17 motorcade entering Disneyland, and speculation surrounded Vance's purposes in California, including a potential vacation after attending a high-cost fundraiser in San Diego.
"I welcome any policymaker to visit, listen and witness the hard-working immigrant communities that make our county strong. I respect the office, but I can't respect policies that hurt our people."
"There's a huge contrast between the work we do on the ground - supporting families with food, resources, and hope - and an administration whose policies feel designed to crush the very communities we serve."
