"LA protests live updates: Trump mobilizes 700 Marines to respond to anti-ICE demonstrations
Source: The Independent

As many as 700 Marines have been mobilized by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to support a total of 2,000 National Guard troops deployed by President Donald Trump in an effort to quell protests against his immigration policies in Los Angeles.

They are there in a supporting role and are prohibited from conducting law enforcement activity, such as arrests, unless the Insurrection Act is invoked."

If they're out patrolling the streets and arresting people, he needs cover.

If they're there to help haul stuff, transport National Guard, cook their chow, then it's not really a violation of the PC Act, is it?

Those tanks aren't going back to wherever they came from, and the National Guard and the Marines aren't going to be recalled from LA.

This is all to show the citizenry that if they don't cooperate, they could experience the same things.

I am very scared right now.

TFG is looking for the biggest fight he can so that he can take full dictatorial control over the country. Thus the NG and the Marines. Also expect him to start supplementing these with "temporary" ICE personnel out of Blackwater, Eric Prince's mercenary company.

We are on the edge of a hot civil war at this point.
