Gov. Newsom, Protesters Target JD Vance with His Family as They Visit Disneyland; VP Vance Visits Disneyland as Protesters Gather Nearby

Gov. Newsom, protesters target JD Vance with his family as they visit Disneyland:

Protesters and even California Gov. Gavin Newsom targeted Vice President JD Vance as he visited Disneyland with his family this weekend.

Sharing a video of Vance with his family at the Southern California theme park, Newsom wrote, “Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t,” in a post on X on Saturday.

Some 100 to 150 protesters gathered outside the gates of the “Happiest Place on Earth” to jeer Vance and his family on Friday and Saturday after his presence at the park was reported, according to the Orange County Register.

Protests were also held in Anaheim while the vice president was in Southern California, where a number of immigration raids have taken place in recent months.

On Saturday, a small crowd also gathered at the Grand Californian Hotel, adjacent to the park, where Vance is believed to be staying, KTLA reports.

Vance’s visit to Disneyland with his wife, Usha, and at least two of their children is a private visit and not a political one.

The visit came one day after two major ICE raids on farms in Ventura County, with around 200 suspected undocumented immigrants detained by federal agents.

One person died following the raids, while others were critically injured and some are still unaccounted for, Fox 11 reports.--->READ MORE HERE

VP Vance visits Disneyland as protesters gather nearby:

Vice President JD Vance is spending some family time in Orange County this weekend with a visit to Disneyland, according to local officials and social media posts.

Approximately 50 security officers and Disneyland employees escorted the vice president through the park, Mickey Visit reported.

Vance’s presence sparked protests. Around 100 to 150 demonstrators gathered on Harbor Boulevard near the Disneyland entrance on Friday evening, and a crowd of protesters formed again on Saturday.

Social media video showed Vance’s motorcade arriving at the Disneyland resort around 6 p.m. on Friday and the vice president walking with his family through Bayou Country at Disneyland around 10 a.m. Saturday.

The Vance party rode Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and toured Tom Sawyer Island, according to the posts. They also said Vance rode the Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and dined at the exclusive 21 Royal with his family.

Disneyland officials declined to confirm any individual plans out of respect for the privacy of all guests.

But on Friday, internet sleuths noticed temporary flight restrictions had been placed around the theme park for the weekend.

Matt Desmond, who goes by Disney Scoop Guy on Instagram, posted a social media video of a newly installed staging area tent at the entrance to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel on Friday. --->READ MORE HERE
