I watched the MSNBC video. https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/marines-mobilized-to-base-near-l-a-to-support-national-guard-during-ice-protests-241204293815
The Governor has spoken about the soldiers not being deployed. They've been relocated closer to where the protests have been. I am sure that all California officials and all Democratic office holders are highly aware of what is going on. I also think that Governor Newsom is the best Democratic Governor to have to go up against Donald and his government.

Are the Marines and NG to be deployed with bullets? It is certain that federal LEOs are. Norrrm Jun 9 #17

If they have weapons they will have bullets. If not then you are giving away 100's of fully automatic weapons kelly1mm Jun 9 #19
