Marines detain first civilian in LA amid immigration raid protests
- On June 13, 2025, approximately 200 U.S. Marines were deployed to guard a federal facility in Los Angeles amid ongoing demonstrations related to immigration enforcement actions.
- The deployment came after an increase in federal immigration enforcement efforts last Friday and a court decision permitting National Guard troops to stay in the city.
- A contingent of 200 Marines along with more than 2,000 National Guard members are assigned to protect federal installations, while these troops are permitted only to hold individuals who threaten federal staff temporarily until local law enforcement can take custody.
- On Friday, Marines near the Wilshire Federal Building temporarily detained a man who had entered the property without noticing their orders; he was restrained with zip ties but subsequently released without any charges.
- This rare military deployment within U.S. soil reflects increased federal enforcement amid protests and legal debates over military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
