US EditionComer launches probe into LA protests
- On June 8, 2025, federal authorities activated the National Guard and sent approximately 200 Marines to Los Angeles to secure federal buildings amid protests and violence related to immigration issues.

- The investigation and protests signal ongoing tensions over immigration policies and law enforcement in California, with more demonstrations planned and legal hearings scheduled, including one set for June 17.
