President Donald Trump and the US armed forces are preparing to deploy nearly 700 Marines — a full battalion — to Los Angeles, California. This decision was made against the background of ongoing mass protests and riots related to immigration raids by federal services. In addition, about 2,000 National Guard troops have already been sent to the city, and according to Trump's decision, active marine units can also be involved if necessary.
Marines from the Twentynine Palms base in California will work in conjunction with the National Guard, providing protection to federal facilities and law enforcement support. The soldiers have been trained in riot control and conflict de-escalation, are armed with standard weapons and are ready for operational action.
This decision drew criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who believe that federal intervention only exacerbates the situation and violates the state's powers. Newsom even sued the Trump administration, accusing it of bypassing state authorities and provoking tension.
Thus, the situation in Los Angeles remains tense, and the federal government is demonstrating its determination to respond harshly to protests and unrest related to immigration policy.
