About 700 US marines were sent to Los Angeles by Donald Trump in response to protests over immigration raids. The president also increased the number of national guard members to 4,000, leading California leaders to criticize his 'authoritarian' actions.

The Pentagon mobilized the marines after tensions between the federal government and Los Angeles escalated, with residents protesting against crackdowns on immigrant communities. Despite facing teargas, protesters continued to rally, and families of detained immigrants pleaded for their release.

California has filed a lawsuit against Trump, accusing him of unlawfully federalizing the state's national guard to suppress domestic protests.
