💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump has mobilized at least 700 Marines and hundreds of National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to protests against his administration's immigration raids. This deployment, over Governor Gavin Newsom's objections, marks a significant escalation in Trump's enforcement of immigration laws. The protests, which have spread to other cities like Chicago and Boston, have seen clashes with law enforcement and significant property damage.
