Скачать или смотреть Marines on the Streets: A Constitutional Crisis Unfolds in Los Angeles

U.S. Marines have been deployed to Los Angeles amid escalating immigration protests, sparking a fierce legal and constitutional battle between federal and state authorities. This unprecedented move by the Trump administration has raised serious questions about the limits of federal power and state sovereignty.

Key developments:
ICE raids on June 7th, 2025, resulted in 45 arrests, including a local union president
President Trump deployed 700 Marines and 2,000 additional National Guard troops to LA
Total federal presence in the city now stands at 4,700 troops

The deployment has ignited a heated debate over the legality of using military forces for domestic law enforcement:
The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits federal military personnel from enforcing domestic policies
The Trump administration cites the Insurrection Act to justify the deployment
California officials argue the deployment violates federal law and state sovereignty

Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass strongly oppose the federal intervention, with the state filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration. A pending injunction seeks to remove the Marines, with a hearing scheduled for June 12th.

This unprecedented situation raises critical questions about the balance of power between states and the federal government. The outcome could set far-reaching precedents for future federal interventions in state affairs.

As tensions remain high, all eyes are on the courts to interpret the limits of federal power, the applicability of the Insurrection Act, and the rights of states to refuse federal military intervention.
