US Edition700 Marines deployed to Los Angeles amid ICE protests
- Approximately 700 Marines based at Twentynine Palms were sent to Los Angeles on Monday to assist National Guard personnel during ongoing protests.
- The deployment followed escalating protests over federal immigration raids that began Friday and spread across Los Angeles over the weekend.
- Governors and local officials, including Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass, condemned the deployment as unwarranted and a breach of state sovereignty, while Trump defended it as necessary.
- Trump stated that Los Angeles, once a thriving American city, is now overwhelmed by illegal immigrants and criminals, and he justified the deployment as a measure to reestablish order.
- The deployment triggered legal action by California, including a planned lawsuit alleging unlawful federal mobilization, and tensions remained high with ongoing protests and arrests.
