US EditionTrump Administration Surges Military Forces to Los Angeles
- On Monday, President Donald Trump sent approximately 700 Marines to Los Angeles and ordered an increase of about 2,000 National Guard members to address escalating violent protests linked to immigration enforcement actions.
- The deployment followed protests and riots after federal immigration enforcement intensified raids on June 9, 2025, escalating tensions despite objections from local leaders and the mayor.
- The head of the Los Angeles Police Department and Mayor Karen Bass both voiced concerns about the deployment, criticizing the lack of coordination and warning that the city was being treated as a federal experiment, which could lead to logistical complications.
- A recent survey of over 4,200 American adults revealed that 36% expressed approval of the protests, while 45% were opposed. Meanwhile, Senator Jack Reed described the deployment of military forces as a "historic decision" that could escalate the situation into a nationwide crisis.
- The deployment intensified political divisions, prompted a California lawsuit challenging federal authority, and raised concerns over potential misuse of military forces in civilian law enforcement.
