Attorney General Jeff Sessions is visiting the San Diego border area Monday to discuss immigration policies, the Department of Justice announced Sunday.
Sessions will hold a 1 p.m. press conference with Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Thomas D. Homan at an undisclosed location.
The DOJ said the two will talk about the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions. The agency did not disclose any specific enforcement plans the two will discuss.
The visit comes two weeks after the caravan of asylum seekers from Central America arrived at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. The last of the of the 161 asylum seekers from the caravan crossed into the U.S. on Friday to be processed.
President Donald Trump has railed against the migrant caravan, calling them a threat to national security. He's used the caravan to rallied support for his border wall despite the fact that most asylum seekers turned themselves in to border inspectors.
Sessions last visited San Diego in April 2017 with then-Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly to look at ways to improve border security. His visit on Monday will be the third high-profile visit to the Southern California U.S-Mexico border from the Trump administration in as many months.
In March, Trump visited San Diego to inspect the border wall prototypes and, at the end of April, Vice President Mike Pence visited the Calexico border to inspect border fence replacement there.
