Protests continue in LA, with crowds gathering around a federal building where arrested individuals are believed to be held. Meanwhile, a protest in support of Los Angeles has emerged at the US Embassy in Mexico City. The situation on the streets appears calmer compared to previous nights.

Marines have been mobilized in LA to operate under three rules of force, including self-defense and defense of federal property and personnel. This decision has been met with some controversy given the focus of protests around federal buildings in LA.

Additionally, Democrats have raised concerns over the arrest of union leader David Huerta, with leading Democrats expressing worries about his ongoing detention. Huerta’s arrest during a raid has sparked protests calling for his release.

The Pentagon is set to deploy around 700 marines to Los Angeles, along with additional National Guard troops, in a bid to support federal personnel and property protection. This escalation of federal presence in LA could potentially heighten tensions.

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized President Trump for sending National Guard troops to LA without proper provisions, citing images of troops allegedly lacking basic necessities. This move has intensified the political discourse, with Democrats accusing Trump of exacerbating the crisis in Los Angeles.

Trump, on the other hand, has praised the deployment of the National Guard, claiming they have done a “fantastic job” in handling the unrest. The political and social dynamics surrounding the protests in LA continue to evolve, with conflicting views on the government’s response to the situation.
