Marines are now on duty in Los Angeles for the first time.
Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue to grip Los Angeles and spread to New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, Texas, and other cities.
Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against Newsom's wishes.
A federal appeals court Thursday delayed an order requiring the Trump administration to return control of the National Guard to Newsom, dealing the administration a temporary reprieve to what would have been a major reversal of its policy on the protests.
By the direction of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and in coordination with U.S. Northern Command, there are 500 Marines on "prepared to deploy status" to the Los Angeles immigration protests.
There are approximately 300 members of the California National Guard currently deployed to Los Angeles County, officials said.
