Trump Deploys Marines to Los Angeles Amid Ongoing Immigration Protests
Federal troops sent to quell unrest following ICE raids; state officials decry move as overreach
President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 700 Marines to Los Angeles, supplementing the 4,000 National Guard troops already present, in response to escalating protests sparked by recent immigration enforcement actions.
The decision has drawn sharp criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who argue that the federal intervention is unnecessary and exacerbates tensions.
The protests began after ICE detained over 100 individuals in raids across the city, leading to widespread demonstrations and clashes with law enforcement.
