Pentagon Deploys Marines Under Insurrection Act for LA Surveillance

The Pentagon deployed Marine Corps units to Los Angeles under Insurrection Act authority, granting them powers to conduct surveillance operations alongside ICE during immigration enforcement actions. The deployment marked the first Insurrection Act invocation for domestic immigration enforcement in modern history. California Governor Gavin Newsom immediately challenged the deployment in federal court, arguing it violated the Tenth Amendment and the constitutional limits of the Insurrection Act.
