US deploys Marines to Los Angeles as Trump backs arrest of California governor

LOS ANGELES/WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) – The U.S. military will temporarily deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles until more National Guard troops can arrive, marking another escalation in President Donald Trump’s response to street protests over his aggressive immigration policies.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a battalion would be sent on temporary duty until more National Guard troops could reach the scene. For now, the Trump administration was not invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement.

Restoring Law & Order is “Escalation”.
