Protests in Los Angeles are entering their fourth day over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. President Donald Trump, over the weekend, called protesters "violent, insurrectionist mobs" after he deployed the National Guard despite objections from California's Democratic Gov.

The Pentagon planned to deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles on Monday to help National Guard members respond to immigration protests, three U.S. officials said

More than 700 Marines from the Twentynine Palms base have been mobilized in response to protests and unrest in Los Angeles, news reports say.

The U.S. military will temporarily deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles until more National Guard troops can arrive, marking another escalation in President Donald Trump's response to street protests over his aggressive immigration policies.

President Trump is fighting California Democrats, but his Los Angeles National Guard mission could erode support for immigration policies.

President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would deploy additional National Guard troops to California if necessary, just hours after expressing support for the arrest of Governor Gavin Newsom. The escalating conflict between Trump and the Democratic governor centers on immigration protests that shook Los Angeles over the weekend.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”
