Marines detain first civilian in LA amid immigration raid protests

  • On June 13, 2025, U.S. Marines stationed in Los Angeles briefly held an individual at the Wilshire Federal Building amid protests related to immigration enforcement.
  • Following several days of demonstrations against immigration enforcement, President Trump approved the deployment of 700 Marines along with more than 2,000 National Guard members to secure federal sites.
  • Marcos Leao, the detainee, stepped past caution tape and did not immediately hear commands due to wearing headphones before Marines restrained him with zip ties and held him for over two hours.
  • The U.S. military stated troops can temporarily detain individuals if they threaten federal personnel or property but must transfer custody promptly to civilian law enforcement; Leao was released without charges.
  • This first known detention by deployed active-duty troops highlights raised tensions, with city officials opposing federal immigration enforcement and experts warning of legal and societal implications.
