Military Convoy of Marines Heads to Los Angeles: Destination Unknown

A convoy of approximately a dozen buses carrying deployed Marines left the Twentynine Palms military base in California late on June 9, 2025, heading toward Los Angeles. While the Pentagon confirmed the Marines' movement toward Los Angeles, their final destination remains undisclosed. This has raised concerns about the safety of the community. The video shows a long line of buses driving on a highway at night. A statement from the US Northern Command said the Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment will be working with National Guard troops already deployed in Los Angeles to "protect federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area." The Marines, according to the Pentagon, have been trained in de-escalation and the rules of engagement. The lack of transparency regarding the final destination is adding to public anxiety. Despite the lack of a clear explanation, the military presence suggests a heightened security posture in the region.
