SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA – U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly are scheduled to visit San Diego on Friday to observe federal operations at the border with Mexico.

The visit is part of a tour of the southwestern border area that's set to begin Thursday in El Paso.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, they plan to watch border and immigration detention operations while in San Diego, and then hold a news conference.
