4/1/24 - Donald Trump To Visit Grand Rapids

The city of Grand Rapids is getting ready to host former President Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon. No rally is planned.

(GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.) - The Kent County Republican Party announces that former President Donald Trump will visit Grand Rapids, Tuesday afternoon, April 2, and will give a speech to law enforcement at DeVos Place.    

Trump will speak at a news conference with law enforcement and invited guests. 

There will not be an official rally but the GOP is organizing a "President Trump Roadside Rally", from 1PM - 4PM on the roads around DeVos place. 

Trump is expected to deliver a speech around 2;30 and focus on the Southern border and immigration.

The high number of migrants arriving at the U.S. southern border has become a major political talking point this election cycle.  

Grand Rapids has drawn national attention after a 25-year-old local woman lost her life.  Her boyfriend was charged.  He was in the U.S. without permission from immigration authorities and had been previously deported.
