The Pentagon announced the deployment of at least 500 Marines to Los Angeles in response to ongoing immigration protests. This decision follows significant clashes between protesters and police, with multiple arrests reported. California Governor Gavin Newsom plans to sue the Trump administration over the deployment. Officials cited increasing threats to federal officers as a reason for the military's involvement. Newsom criticized the action, suggesting it caters to Trump's agenda, while the UN raised concerns about the militarization of the situation in LA.
"The activation of the Marines is intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency."
"California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the deployment of Marines on American soil, saying Marines should not be deployed 'to fulfill the deranged fantasy' of Trump."
