💨 Abstract
President Donald Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops and active-duty Marines to Los Angeles to suppress immigration enforcement protests, defying local Democratic leaders. The Pentagon may direct these troops to support immigration enforcement, aligning with Trump's 2024 campaign promises but differing from his previous stance. Trump's recent actions and statements indicate a shift in his position on using military force for domestic issues, including the potential invocation of the Insurrection Act.
