700 Marines Will Deploy to Los Angeles After Hegseth Warned California to Control Riots; LA Anti-ICE Riots Descend Into Looting as Thugs Raid Downtown Shops

700 Marines will deploy to Los Angeles after Hegseth warned California to control riots:

A US Marine battalion is being sent to Los Angeles to help maintain order as anti-ICE riots continued to rage across Southern California.

On Sunday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told Marines to prepare for deployment to LA “if violence continues.”

On Monday, he made good on the promise, ordering 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms, California, to travel to LA, CNN and ABC News reported, citing sources.

The incoming marines will join the 300 National Guards troops already on the ground. President Trump ordered 2,000 members of the California National Guard to be ready to deploy in LA.

The incoming marines are expected to help relieve some of the guard members, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for dispatching the National Guard to the protests, claiming that it has only encouraged more chaos in the streets.

Protests evolved into riots on Sunday as protesters shut down the streets–including the 101 Freeway – and turned the entirety of downtown LA into an unlawful assembly zone. —>READ MORE HERE

LA anti-ICE riots descend into looting as thugs raid downtown shops

The violent anti-immigration enforcement riots that have engulfed downtown Los Angeles since the weekend continued to escalate, with video showing mobs of looters pillaging Foot Locker and T-Mobile stores under cover of darkness late Sunday.

Disturbing footage of the chaos shows criminals, many wearing masks, smashing plate glass windows at the South Broadway cell phone store and disappearing inside before emerging with armfuls of merchandise and fleeing into the night.

Another man sprints out of the destroyed front door carrying a giant promotional teddy bear many T-Mobile locations keep on display, causing onlookers to erupt into laughter.

The havoc spills out into the street, as the adrenaline-charged bandits whoop and holler while cheering on the vandals. One man is seen emptying a fire extinguisher into the air in a huge white chemical cloud as a line of cars waits at a nearby intersection.

Once the crowd dispersed, the videographer pointed their lens on the interior of the store, which has been virtually picked clean, as a high-pitched anti-theft alarm wails in vain.

The footage taken outside the T-Mobile store ends with a woman casually hurling a brick through a window, shattering it to pieces with a loud crash. —>READ MORE HERE
