JD Vance will visit marines in Los Angeles amid tensions over the administration’s crackdown on immigration.

The vice-president will meet with law enforcement and military leadership deployed by Donald Trump in the city to help control violent protests.

“Vice-president JD Vance will travel to Los Angeles, California, where he will tour a multi-agency federal joint operations centre, a federal mobile command centre, meet with leadership and Marines, and deliver brief remarks,” according to a readout.

The visit risks inflaming the already tense relationship between Gavin Newsom, the state’s governor, and the White House.

Mr Newsom and Mr Trump have been locked in a fierce war of words since the president seized control of California’s national guard and deployed 2,000 troops, as well as marines, to the streets of Los Angeles last week.
