Marines Illegally Detain Civilian Veteran at Los Angeles Federal Building

U.S. Marines operating under Trump's federalized deployment in Los Angeles detained a civilian military veteran outside a federal building, holding him without legal authority for several hours before releasing him. The veteran had approached the Marines to ask about their deployment orders and was taken into custody without charges. Legal advocates condemned the detention as a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act prohibiting military law enforcement against civilians.
