Protests erupted in downtown Los Angeles as demonstrators marched toward the courthouse where labor leader David Huerta was being held, prompting a heightened federal response. In a controversial move, the Trump administration announced the temporary deployment of about 700 U.S. Marines to the city to support until more National Guard troops arrive. While the Insurrection Act was not invoked—meaning the troops won’t engage in direct law enforcement—the decision marks a rare use of military forces for domestic unrest. The situation remains fluid, and officials suggest it could change. The deployment sparked criticism, especially from Democrats, who accuse President Trump of unnecessarily escalating tensions. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the move as illegal and vowed to sue, prompting Trump to say he would support Newsom’s arrest. The unrest follows days of protests and clashes over Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement, which has become a major point of contention between political parties.
