700 Marines Arrive in L.A.| Riots Spread To New York, Dallas| Newsom calls Move 'Deranged'

Los Angeles is on edge as President Donald Trump deploys 700 U.S. Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops in response to escalating protests against immigration raids. As unrest continues to grow, the Trump administration has taken this aggressive step to restore order—sparking outrage across political and legal circles. While the Pentagon has stopped short of invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow direct military involvement in law enforcement, critics argue the move already crosses constitutional lines. State and city officials, legal experts, and members of Congress have condemned the deployment as a dangerous precedent.
