National Guard Officer's Promotion Stalled by California Senator Protesting LA Military Deployment

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 18 – Senator Padilla blocks Lt. Gen. Carden's promotion until all 2,700 National Guardsmen and Marines are withdrawn from Los Angeles, protesting military presence amid immigration protests.
