The New York Times reported that Los Angeles Mayor imposed a nighttime curfew in the city center, while California Governor blamed President Donald Trump for the escalating crisis.
A spokesperson for the US Northern Command said the Marines will support federal property and personnel, including immigration enforcement officers.
“California may be the flashpoint, but this won’t stop here,” he said in a national address. “Other states will follow. Democracy is what’s next.”
The Times noted that more protests are expected in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, San Antonio, and Seattle. Organizers said these demonstrations are a prelude to nationwide protests planned for Saturday, including an unusual military parade in Washington, DC.
An unnamed US official told the Times that discussions are ongoing within the Trump administration and the Pentagon about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities outside of Los Angeles.
