Trump Sends Marines to quell LA Immigration Protests

Los Angeles Protests: Trump Deploys Marines Amidst Immigration Policy Disputes Los Angeles, California – June 10, 2025 – Violent protests erupted in Los Angeles following the federal government's immigration enforcement actions. The demonstrations, characterized by widespread unrest and property damage, prompted a swift response from President Donald Trump. In a significant escalation, the President authorized the deployment of approximately 700 U.S. Marines to the city. These troops will temporarily reinforce security at federal facilities until the California National Guard can fully control the situation. "The protests have resulted in significant chaos," stated Luca Bassani, Jovem Pan News' international correspondent, reporting from the scene. "Many cars have been burned, and stores vandalized." The deployment of Marines highlights the increasing tension between the federal government and state authorities in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom, a vocal critic of Trump's immigration policies, has condemned the federal actions. The situation remains tense, with ongoing legal challenges to the immigration policies fueling the protests. The arrival of the Marines is a temporary measure, but it underscores the gravity of the situation and the potential for further escalation. The protests serve as a stark reminder of the deep divisions within the United States regarding immigration policy and the role of the federal government in addressing such issues.
