Military commander says 200 Marines moved into Los Angeles to protect federal property and personnel

About 200 Marines moved into Los Angeles on Friday to protect federal property and personnel amid ongoing protests over immigration raids.
This deployment follows tense protests triggered by federal immigration enforcement, and it came after a federal judge ruled the National Guard deployment illegal.
Gen. Scott Sherman stated that the Marines have completed their civil disturbance training and will not engage in law enforcement activities; instead, their mission is to safeguard federal law enforcement staff at the downtown federal building.
Authorities reported about 470 arrests since Saturday mostly for failing to disperse, with nine officers injured mostly minor, and some charges including assault and possession of weapons.
California Governor Gavin Newsom described the deployment of troops as a significant violation of California’s authority, has initiated legal measures to block it, and, along with other Democratic governors, criticized the action as an improper use of power.
