500 Marines on Standby for Los Angeles Deployment

Los Angeles braces for potential Marine deployment amid protests. The US Northern Command confirmed that 500 Marines are on standby, ready to deploy to Los Angeles if necessary. This comes amidst ongoing protests in the city. However, officials have stressed that no deployment order has been given. "While there are preparations, no order has been given to deploy," a spokesperson for USNORTHCOM stated. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom have urged protesters to remain peaceful. The situation remains fluid, with authorities closely monitoring the situation. The potential for misinformation is high, so further verification of the information is necessary.
