AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Posts on social media suggest Marines are refusing to enter Los Angeles during protests and rioting, but there is no evidence to suggest that is the case.
Protests in L.A. against immigration enforcement began on Friday and are continuing, resulting in some isolated incidents of violence and looting.
Tensions escalated when, in response, President Donald Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to restore order, without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
