Los Angeles: US Marines stationed in Los Angeles on Friday took their first civilian custody, using a rare example of military force to help domestic police. The incident took place ahead of a national protest against President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington.
The detention consisted of a man who is a US military veteran and an immigrant who has acquired US citizenship. The incident highlights the most extraordinary events that have supported Trump’s supporters, while provoking many Americans who are expressing dissatisfaction on the streets.
Trump ordered Marines to go to Los Angeles in response to streets protests on immigration raids by joining the California governor’s objection. Trump said soldiers need to end the protest. It is a dispute that state and local officials have resulted.
There are about 1,800 demonstrations in the United States on Saturday in opposition to the Washington Military Parade, which is on the 250th anniversary of the US Army and according to Trump’s 79th birthday.
The military parade and domestic use of active duty soldiers are both unusual for the United States, as is in military custody of a US citizen on the US soil. It was also unusual when federal agents forcibly removed the US senator on Thursday when they interrupted a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nom.
Trump has developed unconventional tactics politically.
But democratic opponents are starting to retreat. Mayor Karen Bass said that only fifteen protests are being expected in Los Angeles, urging people to remain peaceful.
The boss said, “We are here today because the raids have led to fear and panic,” the boss said, saying that two dozen elected officials joined to oppose raids and military presence. “Can the federal government take power from any state and local jurisdiction?
Army Major General Scott Sherman, who is under the command of both the National Guard and the Marine Forces, said that a part of the 700 Marine battalions sent to the National Guard, nearly 200 Marines were assigned to protect the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles.
The Marines and the National Guard stationed in Los Angeles have been assigned to the protection of federal property and personnel and they can temporarily detain people, but they need to be handed over to civilian law enforcement agencies for any formal arrest.
Former military custody of the army
Reuters saw that Marines detained a man at the Wilshire Federal Building. Reuters photos show the Marines stopping their hands with zip relationships and then handed over to citizens from the Homeland Security (DHS) department about two hours later.
The US military confirmed the detention after being presented with Reuters photos, in the first well -known detention by active duty soldiers.
The detained man, 27 -year -old, Marcos Liu, a migrant and a former US military soldier, were released to be released to go to the ground after roaming a limited area, as he crossed a yellow tape line to avoid rotating around the building.
Liu, who said he was Portuguese and Angolan and became an American citizen by the army, said he had obeyed all orders and the Marines apparently considered it misunderstood for a demonstrators when he did business with the Veterans Administration Office inside the building.
“They treated me very well,” he added, “Understand, this is a whole pressure situation for all, and we all have a job.”
When asked about the incident, a spokesman for the Northern Command of the US Army said that active duty forces “could temporarily detain an individual in certain circumstances,” and that the detention would end when the person was transferred to civilian law enforcement agencies.
The DHS sent the press questions to the Northern Command.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles’ demonstrations continued for the eighth straight day, when they were born last Friday in connection with immigration raids.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said the demonstrations are located in the middle of the city, and less than 1 % of them have caused problems.
Some people have been accused of attacking, looting or damaging property.
Luna said at a press conference in which law enforcement officials said they welcomed peaceful protests on Saturday but warned that they would arrest others who would harm others or damage the property.
The boss imposed more than a square mile (2.5 square kilometers) of the city’s central region, which officials said that the order had been useful for maintaining.
The boss said there is no “date of elimination” for the curfew.
The boss said, “We are expecting that if the cause of the turmoil will end, which is stopping the raids, I can almost guarantee you that the curfew will go away in a short order.”
