Pentagon was scrambling Monday to establish rules to guide U.S. Marines who could be faced with the rare and difficult prospect of using force against citizens on American soil, now that the Trump administration is deploying active duty troops to the immigration raid protests in Los Angeles.
U.S. Northern Command said it is sending 700 Marines into the Los Angeles area to protect federal property and personnel, including federal immigration agents. The 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines are coming from Twentynine Palms, California, and will augment about 4,100 National Guard members already in LA or authorized to be deployed there to respond to the protests.
A goddamn shame to call myself a Marine. Any Marine executing these fascist orders are not Marines. They are fucking Traitors. The same goes for any other service member.
Every single soldier that participates in this should be tried for fucking treason.
Well if they are just standing around and not actually shooting people they are still “participating” but aren’t doing anything wrong
Correct.
I was stationed in 29 for a while. They seemed like good people, I hope they still are.
I was in Quantico. Like you, I hope they still are too. Semper Fi, brother.
