PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. – U.S. Northern Command has activated the Marine infantry battalion that was placed in an alert status over the weekend. Approximately 700 Marines with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division will seamlessly integrate with the Title 10 forces under Task Force 51 who are protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area.

The activation of the Marines is intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency.

Task Force 51 is U.S. Army North’s Contingency Command Post, which provides a rapidly deployable capability to partner with civil authorities and DoD entities in response to a Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Operations. It is commanded by Maj. Gen. Scott M. Sherman.

Task Force 51 is comprised of approximately 2,100 National Guard soldiers in a Title 10 status and 700 active-duty Marines. Task Force 51 forces have been trained in de-escalation, crowd control, and standing rules for the use of force.

Looks like the Marines will be coming to the rescue of law-abiding Americans in LA, California.

This needs to be crushed now not later, those responsible behind the scene, funding, assistance, information need to be found and charged.

I saw a new suggested chant for the protesters.

"1,2,3,4...Here come the Marines, it's time to go"

Trump has put a lid on LA. All these insurgents can do is cry and feign anger for the cameras now.

Agreed. This is all planned, financed, and orchestrated by the same people behind the George Floyd riots and it is part of their plan to oust Trump. I think they miscalculated this time.

"standing rules for the use of force."

I'd like to know what those rules are for this specialized task unit.

Should have said task force rather than unit.

They will be there to guard and protect federal property and institutions only. They’re not gonna do much else.

I'm okay with that. Let the state and local govts worry about doing the state's job of protecting their citizens from looting and violence against non-federal workers and property.

Unless we're talking about illegal aliens doing the violence. At that point it's the federal govt's job to protect Americans from foreign invasion.

President Trump mobilizing the Marines, Cal National Guard, and the US Army to put down riots has a prestent in President Kennedy’s mobilization of the Miss Army National Guard to enforce James Meredith’s entry to Ole Miss University in Oxford, MS in 1982. Thus Gov Newsome can take his law suit and “stuff it.”

For a detailed study of Meredith & Ole Miss as well as President Eisenhower’s use of the military in 1958 to control the demonstrators against the integration of Little Rock High School see: The Role of Federal Military Forces in Domestic Disorders, 1945-1992, by Dr. Paul J. Scheips

You bet, the ICE raids continue and will for a long time. Trump told everyone what he was going to do. Big media and the communist entrenched in local and state CA government are the only people feigning surprise and anger.

I believe a lot of illegals in the liberal town near us are self-deporting. Hubby and I went on our “once every 2 weeks” trip to town this morning. We saw exactly zero Hispanics in Walmart. Zero! That’s something that hasn’t happen in a while.

Article 33 of the Mexican Constitution prohibits anyone without Mexican Citizenship from patrticipating in Mexican pollitics.
This includes participating in actually peaceful protests.

” In 2002, a dozen American college students, in Mexico legally, participated peacefully in an environmental protest against a planned airport outside of Mexico City. They swiftly found themselves deported as law-breakers for interfering in Mexico’s internal affairs.”
