LOS ANGELES – The Trump administration is deploying hundreds of active-duty U.S. Marines to Los Angeles "to help protect federal agents and buildings" amid protests against the president's immigration enforcement efforts, a senior administration official told Spectrum News.

U.S. Northern Command confirmed the deployment of "approximately 700 Marines" from bases in California to "seamlessly integrate" with the National Guard members on the ground "protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area." Both the Marines and the Guard members have been "trained in de-escalation, crowd control, and standing rules for the use of force," the military claimed.
