Los Angeles braces for arrival of more troops in ‘crisis of Trump’s own making’

City expects 700 marines plus more national guard troops despite quieter night after four days of protests in city

Los Angeles on Tuesday was bracing for new troop arrivals after a quieter night following four days of protests over federal immigration raids on local businesses.

The initial deployment of 300 national guard troops is expected to quickly expand to the full 4,000 that has been authorized by Donald Trump, with an additional 700 marines who could begin arriving on Tuesday.
