Marines Deployed to LA Amid Immigration Protests | JQJO

Following a week of protests against federal immigration raids, approximately 200 Marines have deployed to Los Angeles to protect federal property and personnel. The deployment, overseen by Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, comes after a court battle over President Trump's authority to use National Guard troops. The Marines, trained in civil disturbance, will not engage in law enforcement but will safeguard federal agents. This action follows Governor Newsom's claim of a breach of state sovereignty, while the President cites a legal provision allowing troop mobilization in case of rebellion. Hundreds of arrests have been made during the protests, with minor injuries reported among law enforcement.
