News Channel 3 and CBS Local 2 spoke to authorities Thursday night, and the heightened security for the president’s visit shouldn’t impact local police response through the weekend.
The presidential motorcade left the airport at about 11:45 a.m. We’re on scene in Rancho Mirage where Secret Service agents have staged near Thunderbird Heights in Rancho Mirage.
It appears the first stop the president made was at Porcupine Creek. Elements of his motorcade were spotted at the estate of Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation., at about 12:30 p.m.
Road closures are in place near Palm Springs International Airport and a few intersections throughout Rancho Mirage will be closed to traffic and pedestrians as well.
The president is expected to depart from the valley on Tuesday.
News Channel 3 and CBS Local 2 will bring you up-to-date details of the president’s visit throughout the weekend.
