Trump Deploys Hundreds Of Marines To Los Angeles

The Trump administration deployed between 500 and 700 U.S. Marines to Los Angeles on Monday to assist the National Guard and local law enforcement as anti-ICE riots blew up in part of the city over the weekend.

CNN reported that 500 Marines from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California were mobilized, while ABC News reported that 700 Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, were sent into the city.
