In response to ongoing protests regarding immigration enforcement, President Trump is deploying around 700 Marines to Los Angeles, joining previously activated National Guard members. This unprecedented action, the first in over three decades, involves significant federal intervention in local unrest. Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act but emphasizes his authority to protect federal property, raising legal questions about compliance with the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement. The situation reflects heightened tensions and the administration's response to civil demonstrations against immigration policies.
If I didn't SEND IN THE TROOPS' to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now.
This marks the first time in over three decades that Marines have been mobilized inside the United States to respond to civil unrest.
Legal experts say that distinction may ultimately determine whether the deployments are deemed lawful. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement.
Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act. Instead, he is relying on a broader presidential authority to protect federal property.
