About 700 U.S. Marines were mobilized Monday to support the California National Guard to protect federal personnel and property in Los Angeles during protests there, officials said. The mobilization of the Marines from their base in Twentynine Palms, California, is temporary, to give time for additional National Guard troops to arrive.

Earlier Monday, President Donald Trump said he would support arresting California Gov. Gavin Newsom for purportedly obstructing federal immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles.

Trump’s comment came shortly before Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta said they would sue Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for deploying National Guard troops to deal with protests over those enforcement actions.

The suit will ask a judge to rule that Trump’s federalization of the California National Guard was unlawful and to set aside the president’s order.

1. holy crap! n/t

[Lovie777]

2. That's hard to swallow.................

Do not believe it, and if so, less than 100.

It's already backing firing on shithole.

[MadameButterfly]

3. How is it backfiring?

I'm eager to here any evidence of backfiring
Why wouldn't it be 700?
Of course it isn't reasonable but Trump isn't reasonable.

[Pachamama]

4. Marines don't shoot rubber bullets

[Javaman]

7. They don't do crowd control either nt

[Karasu]

8. Nor are they trained for crowd control. They are trained to kill people. Full stop.

Currently, he hasn't invoked the Insurrection Act, meaning they don't currently have the authority to arrest people, and are mostly just there for intimidation--but you know these fascists are salivating at the chance to change that at the first possible opportunity.

[AzTired64]

14. Marines

If the 700 Marines are from their Military Police units MOS 5811, they are trained in crowd control. If they are from their Infantry MOS 0300, might end very poorly for someone wanting to get in a Marine's face and start yelling while waiving a phone in their face.

This could go sideways VERY quickly.

[lapfog_1]

26. for the protesters AND the marines

They swore an oath to uphold the constitution... they should probably get a copy and brush up on what that means. Following an illegal order isn't going to save them when the time comes for being held responsible. Shooting someone for yelling at them is not part of what is legal for them to do... not for the police, not for ICE, not for the national guard and certainly not for the military.

5. Posse Comitatus Act

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. Congress passed the Act as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and updated it in 1956, 1981 and 2021.

The Act originally applied only to the United States Army, but a subsequent amendment in 1956 expanded its scope to the United States Air Force. In 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 further expanded the scope of the Act to cover the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Space Force. The Act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor. The United States Coast Guard (under the Department of Homeland Security) is not covered by the Act either, primarily because although it is an armed service, it also has a maritime law enforcement mission.

The title of the Act comes from the legal concept of posse comitatus, the authority under which a county sheriff, or another law officer, can conscript any able-bodied person to assist in keeping the peace.

19. Should we thank Joe Biden for getting this through congress in 2022 as a roadblock to future Trumpian plans?

[UpInArms]

20. Probably

Joe never missed a beat

[PermatexNo.2]

23. I do believe he did just that and my love for that great man only grows stronger.

[Polybius]

28. Unfortunately, it may not matter

Legal or not, he' doing it anyway.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. As I recall

WBush/Cheney/Rumsfeld tried to get this law repealed during their occupation of the White House & failed miserably.

I would love to know how many of the Marines sent are Hispanic, Latino, or Mexicans..........ANY?????????

[Javaman]

6. Well this violates several laws nt

[Iamscrewed]

9. Just 1 more

Impeachable offense.

[sakabatou]

25. Even if it were, repukes won't unseat him.

[Bluestocking]

10. If this is illegal

how is he doing this?

[Bluestocking]

12. Because they are not

They are moving Marines from one base to another. They have not been activated. They know they can’t.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. He is just chipping away

in all kinds of areas, doing baby steps until the Grand Slam is upon us.....It is the Republican way, and they have been chipping away for over 45+ years...........and here we are today............

For instance, the USSC interjecting themselves into the 2000 election, was in no way legal.....Period. They had no authority.....Period Constitutionally or otherwise........Period

However, there was little if any challenge to the USSC usurping that ability to make a decision as monumental as that one.
The worse part of allowing that decision to stand, was the fact that it established a Supreme Court PRECEDENT that from that point forward would allow them to interject themselves as THE final authority and allow them to do it at any time they wished from that point forward......

Cute, huh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am no lawyer, but I will bet there were countless of seemingly small other decisions they made that gave them the Republicans the foundation for future accomplishments.....slowly building on each, one at a time...........

Trump and his CABAL cannot legally do most of the things he is proclaiming, but he just keeps throwing them at walls until some of them stick when no one is noticing, or when they no longer are paying attention and it slips through..........

[UpInArms]

21. No enforcement procedures

It gets into a very gray area … no courts have a way of truly stopping actions … they are reactive, not proactive

[bluestarone]

11. Well, that SC decision to give this bastard immunity is just

FUCKING GREAT!!!

[Lonestarblue]

13. How many Proud Boys and other Trump domestic terrorists are being paid to infiltrate the protests?

The goal is to make peaceful protests turn violent so Trump has an excuse for martial law.

[Skittles]

15. Trump really, REALLY wants to be like Putin

THAT is his hero

[DENVERPOPS]

29. Putin

really really really wants Trump to be like him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything Trump does, and has done, could be interpreted as acting on Putin's direct orders.
Honestly, why else would Putin and his Russian Oligarchs spend such a MASSIVE amount of money corrupting our elections starting with the 2016 election...........

[SSJVegeta]

16. Hopefully they can get that order done soon. Along with ordering ICE out ofbthe city.

Its getting bad. And frankly it is heartbreaking to watch.

[Chi67]

17. Every one...

...of those Marines is breaking their oaths to defend the constitution. When this is over, they need to be held accountable.

[RobertDevereaux]

18. MARINES and what they swore to...

Found on the web. Fealty to the Constitution trumps obeying fascistic orders from the non-prez and his lapdogs.
%%%%
Do sworn in military members have to swear an allegiance to Donald Trump as well as the country?
Enlistees in the US military swears to defend the Constitution of the US first, then the President of the US and the other officers officers in their chain of command. The placement is deliberate; enlistees must not obey orders, even of the President, that conflict with the Constitution.
Text of the oath:
I, (state name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

22. I never thought it would ever be

Active duty Marines against Marine Corps Veterans!
Take your best shot, BOY!

You shame the Corps!
