US Marines detains first person in LA as more protests expected

# U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles made their first detention of a civilian yesterday. This comes as part of a rare use of military force to support domestic police and coming ahead of national protests over President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington. The detention of a U.S. Army veteran and an immigrant who obtained U.S. citizenship, underlines a series of highly unusual events that have appealed to Trump supporters but outraged other Americans. About one-thousand-800 protests are scheduled across the U.S. on Saturday in opposition to the Washington military parade.
