Pentagon to reportedly deploy hundreds of US marines to Los Angeles
Briefly

The deployment of 700 active-duty US marines to Los Angeles follows President Trump's commitment to quell protests against government immigration actions. Despite recent peaceful demonstrations, officials cite a need for federal support in maintaining order. Troops from Twentynine Palms will assist law enforcement and secure federal property, although there are no immediate plans to invoke the Insurrection Act. Trump's administration contends that these measures are necessary for public safety as protests grow in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.
Hundreds of active-duty US marines are to be deployed in Los Angeles, making good on Donald Trump's threat to send more troops to quash protests against immigration raids.
The troops will be tasked with a support role, helping law enforcement and protecting federal property, as protests against immigration enforcement continue in Los Angeles.
