Trump Sends Marines to Support California’s National Guard During Riots

The Trump administration is sending hundreds of U.S. Marines to Los Angeles to support California’s National Guard as anti-ICE, foreign-flag waving riots continue.

“Defense and congressional officials” told the Wall Street Journal that “roughly 500” U.S Marines would be deployed to the area “to protect federal buildings and personnel” after riots broke out over the weekend against immigration officials.

The officials added that the Marines “won’t engage” with the rioters, according to the outlet.

In a press release from the U.S. Northern Command, it was revealed that 700 Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Division would “seamlessly integrate with the Title 10 forces under Task Force 51 who are protecting federal personnel and federal property” in Los Angeles.
