- About 200 Marines moved into Los Angeles on Friday to protect federal property and personnel amid ongoing protests over immigration raids.
- The deployment followed about a week of tense protests triggered by federal immigration enforcement actions and legal disputes over troop control.
- Gen. Scott Sherman said the Marines will take over operations at noon at the federal building and that National Guard troops will protect federal law enforcement without performing policing duties.

- California Governor Gavin Newsom called the troop deployment a breach of state sovereignty and has gone to court to stop it amid criticism from Democratic governors and ongoing demonstrations.
