US Northern Command said in a statement Wednesday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is directing the troops to protect federal functions, personnel and property in Los Angeles. US Northern Command said the members will not conduct law enforcement, and are completing training on “de-escalation, crowd controls and use of the standing rules for use of force” ahead of joining other soldiers.
President Donald Trump has already ordered about 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to the Los Angeles area despite the objections of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has called the deployment a “power grab.”
