The U.S. Northern Command on Sunday said hundreds of active-duty Marines are ready to deploy to provide additional protection of federal property and personnel within Los Angeles.

"By direction of Secretary of Defense and in coordination with U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), approximately 2,000 California Army National Guard soldiers have been placed under federal command and control in a Title 10 status to support the protection of federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area.

As USNORTHCOM’s land component command, U.S. Army North stood up Task Force 51, with a two-star general, as the ground command and control element over the Title 10 forces. At this time, there are approximately 300 members of the California Army National Guard’s 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team deployed at the following locations in the greater Los Angeles area: Los Angeles, Paramount, and Compton, California.

Additionally, approximately 500 Marines from 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, are in a prepared to deploy status should they be necessary to augment and support the DoD’s protection of federal property and personnel efforts.

USNORTHCOM will provide more information as units are identified and deployed."

Interesting to see the reaction of some LAPD riot officers when soldiers arrived: their line immediately straightened out, backs straightened and shoulders came up.

They looked ready for duty again instead of demoralized.

If Trump gives an order to lock up federal judges aiding and abetting the insurrection, the marines will follow those orders. Marines are good at following orders.

I think it would be sporting to pick off the ringleaders with .22s.

Bonus paid for knee hits.

Then drag them away and ax them some polite questions.

The marines are not riot police. Think Beruit.

I believe Trump sees this as a low-grade civil war

Given years of

- taxpayer-paid, organized NGO democrat-leftist street agitation, growing larger each time (remember when they burned the old Church right next to the White House during the St. Floyd riots),
- non-stop leftist lawfare against Trump
- FBI/CIA/Intel deep-state history of direction action against Trump
- Assassination attempts

Its clear the Dem-Dem State color-revolution machinery is again cranking itself up early in Trump II administration.

Its no time to show them weakness.

No, but the article says that they would be deployed to protect federal property. That isn't riot policing.

Although guard duty isn't overly conducive for...

Over here on the east coast there seems to be an un announced preparation taking seed. Casually noticed an rather increased presence of plainclothes assets about at various places. I made sure to thank the two I got within speaking distance of. Got a curt thank you from each but it came grim faced imo. No smiles today.

Call congress-——WHO’S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES?

Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn’t “spontaneous outrage.” This was organized. Funded. Coordinated.

At the center of the funding web is CHIRLA—the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights. Documents reveal the group saw a shocking jump from $12 million to $34 million in government grants in just one year.

While most of that is believed to come from the State of California, the group has received federal funding as well.

If you are unable to contact your rep using their contact form, the Clerk of the House maintains addresses and phone numbers of all House members and Committees.

Or you may call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator.


Evidence Suggests LA “Riots” Over ICE Raids Could Be Govt‑Funded

What began as a so-called “spontaneous protest” against ICE enforcement operations in Los Angeles has now been exposed as something far more insidious: a well-funded, coordinated riot, with ties to radical left-wing organizations, government-backed NGOs, and even a billionaire known for pushing Chinese Communist propaganda.

According to a damning exposé by investigative account @DataRepublican, several nonprofit organizations and shadowy political fronts played a pivotal role in igniting the chaos that saw federal officers attacked, flags burned, and city streets blocked.

But what’s more alarming: tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money may have indirectly fueled the unrest.

The proper response for any service member receiving a court order is, “Not in my chain of command.”
