Trump mobilizes Marines for duty in Los Angeles

National Guard troops stand outside the Metropolitan Detention Center on Sunday in Los Angeles. Tensions in the city remain high after the Trump administration called in the National Guard against the wishes of city leaders following two days of clashes with police during a series of immigration raids.

U.S. Northern Command says the infantry battalion would be supporting the National Guard troops “who are protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area.”
