US Marines deployed to Los Angeles on Trump’s orders amid immigration protests, facing criticism from state officials.

In Short:
U.S. Marines have been deployed to Los Angeles in response to immigration protests, prompting criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom as politically motivated. Local tensions rise, with Newsom filing a lawsuit against the deployment, while residents and businesses express concerns over the protests’ impact on their communities.

Hundreds of U.S. Marines have arrived in Los Angeles under orders from President Trump. This deployment comes as part of a response to ongoing protests against federal immigration raids initiated by the Trump administration.

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticised the deployment, suggesting it is politically motivated and an overreaction to largely peaceful protests.

Approximately 700 Marines are currently in a staging area, while around 2,100 National Guard troops are already in Los Angeles, with more expected.

Military officials state that the Marines will not have arrest authority but will protect federal property and personnel.

Cost of deployment

The cost of the troop deployments is estimated at $134 million, raising concerns about resources that could be used for veteran assistance, according to Governor Newsom.

Mayor Karen Bass noted that protests have primarily been contained to a few areas, separating peaceful demonstrators from those engaging in violence and vandalism.

While Trump has described the situation as a violent occupation, local officials argue that his portrayal exaggerates the true nature of the protests.

Violent incidents have occurred, including rocks thrown at officers and looting, leading to over 180 arrests since Saturday.

Over 330,000 displaced as Middle East tensions escalate

Published

on

The Middle East is facing a growing humanitarian crisis as renewed conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran sends shockwaves across the region. Families are fleeing cities, villages, and towns, leaving behind homes and livelihoods in search of safety amid rising violence. The UN refugee agency reports that thousands of people are on the move daily, particularly from Tehran and other affected areas in Iran.

In Lebanon, the humanitarian toll is mounting. Over 84,000 people are now sheltering in nearly 400 collective sites, while more than 30,000 have crossed into Syria since the escalation began. Evacuation orders affecting over 50 villages triggered a wave of displacement from southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s southern suburbs, adding to tens of thousands still displaced from the 2024 conflict. Many are attempting to flee on foot with few belongings, seeking safety in neighbouring areas.

The situation is raising fears of a wider refugee crisis. European authorities warn that displacement of just 10 percent of Iran’s population could rival the largest refugee flows of recent decades. Turkey has prepared facilities for up to 90,000 potential arrivals, while the UNHCR says it requires $454 million in 2026 to support displaced populations across Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Central Asia—but has received only 15 percent so far.
