IRVINE, Calif.—President Joe Biden visited Irvine Valley College on Oct. 14, where he spoke to a private crowd of about 100 people about his administration’s efforts to lower prescription and medical costs in the United States, but just outside the campus protesters could be heard seeking to gain his attention.

The majority protesting were of Iranian descent, outraged by the Sept. 16 death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, a young woman detained by Iran’s morality police for not following the country’s strict dress code for women. She died after 3 days in custody.
