Marines Arrive In LA After Subdued Night Of Protests

As GOP leaders continue to spar with Newsom online, tensions remain high in Los Angeles as a military presence grows in the city.
On June 2, 2020, following a relatively calm night of protests in Los Angeles, about 200 Marines arrived to assist local law enforcement in managing the ongoing demonstrations sparked by the death of George Floyd. The previous night saw fewer arrests and instances of looting compared to earlier days, with the Los Angeles Police Department reporting 16 arrests, primarily for failure to disperse and curfew violations. The city had been under a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and while the protests remained mostly peaceful, there were minor incidents of vandalism and looting. The arrival of the Marines was part of a broader effort to maintain order and support local authorities as the city continued to navigate the unrest.
