What to know about the L.A. immigration protests after ICE operations
Read Original Source
Protests in Los Angeles against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids prompted President Trump to order about 700 active-duty Marines to join the National Guard troops previously deployed to the city, actions that spurred legal pushback from California Gov. Gavin Newsom. A defense official told CBS News the Marines arrived in greater Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, joining about 2,100 members of the California National Guard who are now operating in Los Angeles, Paramount and Compton.
