💨 Abstract

In Los Angeles, the top military commander has requested to redeploy 200 troops from protest duty to wildfire fighting, as Governor Newsom warned about understaffing. About 4,000 National Guard troops and 800 Marines were sent by President Trump to handle protests against ICE raids, raising legal concerns about domestic law enforcement. The Marines have temporarily detained civilians. The redeployment request comes as California enters peak wildfire season.
