Thousands of Marines and National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles have received crowd control training to take on an expanded mission protecting ICE agents in the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Immigration protests are intensifying across the U.S., including in Northern California, after ICE raids and detentions triggered fear in immigrant communities.
