Hundreds of U.S. Marines are reportedly being deployed to Los Angeles to help control the riots sparked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in the city over the weekend, multiple outlets reported Monday.
Several hundred Marines will arrive in the city over the next 24 hours, primarily to support the National Guard and Los Angeles Police Department, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal, ABC News and CNN. The riots have caused widespread damage and violence across the city, with protestors violently clashing with authorities in response to ICE raids targeting illegal immigrants residing in the city.
Newsom’s office and U.S. Northern Command did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
