ABC News reports 700 Marines are being deployed to the area:
Seven-hundred Marines in California have been ordered to assist in Los Angeles and they’re expected to arrive over the next 24 hours, a U.S. official confirmed.
The Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, whom U.S. Northern Command had said Sunday were on a “prepared to deploy status” if the Defense Department needed them.
ADVERTISEMENTMinutes before the Marines’ deployment was confirmed, President Donald Trump was asked by ABC News if he planned on sending Marines to LA, and he said, “We’ll see what happens.”
“I mean, I think we have it very well under control,” Trump said. “I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It’s now heading in the right direction.”
Also from ABC News, this comes on the heels of 2,000 National Guard troops:
Tensions are escalating in Los Angeles after protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement gripped the city on Sunday, with demonstrators clashing with law enforcement and setting vehicles on fire downtown.
President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to “address the lawlessness,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully “trampled over” California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
The USMC has Trump’s back 100%!
Bro, as a Marine, I’m telling you USMC has Trumps back.

And don’t let the MSM lie to you and tell you this is unprecedented.
Here’s the truth:
Don’t let the media gaslight you.
During the 1992 L.A. riots, President George W. Bush mobilized the National Guard, US Army, & US Marines to stop the violent rioters from wrecking Los Angeles.
It’s not “unprecedented.” Trump is not a “dictator.”pic.twitter.com/GkQL5gEWI1
