In Los Angeles, peacefulmarches have repeatedly unraveled into nighttime violence, prompting massarrests and the deployment of over 4,000 National Guard troops and hundreds ofMarines.
Trump’s decision to deploy National Guardand Marine units drew swift condemnation. LA Mayor Karen Bass argued the citycould handle protests without federal intervention, noting most demonstrationshad remained peaceful.
