200 Marines Deployed in LA Amid Immigration Protests

Approximately 200 U.S. Marines have been deployed to Los Angeles, joining National Guard troops in response to escalating protests against President Trump's immigration raids and policies. The Marines are assigned to protect federal buildings and are not authorized to engage in law enforcement activities. The deployment comes amid legal battles over federal versus state control of the National Guard, with a federal appeals court temporarily allowing Trump to retain control despite a lower court's ruling against the action. Protests are tied to the nationwide 'No Kings' demonstrations and coincide with a major military parade in Washington, D.C., with most actions remaining peaceful but some clashes reported. Local authorities have imposed curfews and issued warnings about prohibited protest items. The use of active-duty military in this domestic context is rare and has drawn comparisons to the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
