US Marines Deployed to LA Amidst Fiery Protests Over Immigration Raids
Los Angeles erupts in protests following immigration raids. Demonstrators burn American flags and attack a Trump piñata. The Trump administration responds by deploying 700 US Marines, a move criticized by Governor Gavin Newsom as 'un-American'. Newsom said, "US Marines have served honourably across multiple wars in defense of democracy. They are heroes." Videos on social media show protesters engaging in these actions. The Marines' role is reportedly limited to protecting federal buildings. This deployment follows the deployment of 2000 National Guard troops at the weekend. The situation highlights the deep political divisions in the US and the ongoing debate over immigration policy.
