This week marks a jarring collision of the military and civilian relationship, one that has traditionally remained carefully apolitical. It's a week bookended by two high-profile events, both steeped in Trump-era symbolism.

The Pentagon’s deployment of about 700 Marines to Los Angeles to join the National Guard’s response to immigration protests follows weeks of rapid-fire developments as President Donald Trump pursues his top domestic priority for mass deportations.

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.

The protests began Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents carried out coordinated raids across Los Angeles, detaining dozens of workers at warehouses and other worksites. The arrests sparked immediate backlash, with demonstrators converging outside federal buildings, blocking freeways, and in some cases clashing with police.
