National Guard troops and Marines deployed to Los Angeles during last month’s anti-ICE protests say their biggest problem wasn’t demonstrators - but boredom and low morale.
Trump sent more than 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Southern California last month as thousands of people took to the streets in protest of the administration’s widespread immigration enforcement. The troops were sent to quell “lawlessness,” the administration said, but several service members spoke to the contrary.
