Pentagon Threatens to Send Marines into Democrat-Led California
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated the possibility of sending Marine Corps troops to Los Angeles amid protests against a US government raid to find immigrants who stay in the country illegally.
Earlier, a raid by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to identify undocumented immigrants in downtown Los Angeles escalated into clashes with protesters, Sputnik reported. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that a 2,000-strong National Guard force would be deployed to Los Angeles amid the protests."The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert," Hegseth said on X.California is traditionally considered a Democratic stronghold, and Trump has repeatedly criticized it. Last month, he threatened to cut state funding over the participation of a transgender athlete in competitions. The administration has previously canceled $126.4 million in flood prevention projects and criticized California's handling of wildfires.On Saturday, California Governor Gavin Newsom threatened that the state could forego paying federal taxes in response to possible massive federal funding cuts from the Trump administration.
"We're bringing in more resources as we speak. We gonna bring the National Guard in tonight. We gonna continue doing our job," Tom Homan, the US border czar, told Fox News."These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester," Leavitt said.Several people were also taken into custody Saturday as protesters and New York City Police officers clashed outside Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan. Dozens of protesters rallied for hours, facing off with NYPD officers at least twice.Protesters watching chanted "let them go" and booed officers as they took several people into custody.
