700 Marines ordered to assist in Los Angeles
A U.S. official confirmed 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms, California, have been ordered to assist in Los Angeles. They are expected to arrive over the next 24 hours.
The Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, whom U.S. Northern Command had said Sunday were on a "prepared to deploy status" if the Defense Department needed them.
They will join 300 California National Guardsmen who are on Title 10 federalized active duty status in California. Those National Guardsmen were mobilized by Trump through Title 10 authorities and are under the command of U.S. Northern Command.
"We'll see what happens. I mean, I think we have it very well under control. I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction," President Donald Trump told ABC News' Karen Travers.
