LOS ANGELES (AP) — About 200 Marines have moved into Los Angeles and will protect federal property, personnel, the commander in charge says. Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 who is overseeing the 4,700 troops deployed, said Friday that the Marines have finished training on civil disturbance.
Protests in Los Angeles and San Francisco escalated after Trump deployed the National Guard without California’s approval. Demonstrators clashed with police, blocking freeways and setting cars ablaze amid heavy arrests.
Trump slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom, who previously called Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to California “deranged.”
