In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) condemns President Trump’s call to send the National Guard and Marines into Los Angeles amid protests and criticizes the forceful removal of fellow California Sen.

LA Mayor Karen Bass came out against deploying federal troops in her city to deal with unruly protests, saying local law enforcement was on top of the situation.

Around 200 Marines armed with rifles, riot control equipment, gas masks, roughly 20 hours of civil disturbance training and the ability to temporarily detain civilians arrived in the country's second-largest city after days of public anticipation.

President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images.

Many Mexican Americans remember that California became part of the United States after a 19th century war that cost Mexico more than half its territory.

Reuters images showed Marines apprehending a civilian, restraining his hands with zip ties and then handing him over to civilians from the Department of Homeland Security.
