After news that Vice President JD Vance had a family visit planned to Disneyland, hundreds of people turned out to protest his trip to the Happiest Place on Earth while Trump administration’s immigration policies result in ICE raids across Los Angeles.

“No family vacation while we deal with family separation,” read one protester sign, adorned with Vance’s face.

Protesters gathered outside the nearby Grand Californian Hotel where the Vice President and his family were staying, waving flags and chanting. “I would tell [Vance] to go home,” one protester told Fox 11. “Get the hell out of here. We don't want him here."
