By Omar Younis, Brad Brooks, Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles made their first detention of a civilian on Friday, the military said, part of a rare domestic use of its forces sent to the city after days of protests over immigration raids.

President Donald Trump is thanking an appeals court for freezing an order that he return control of National Guard troops to California.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

Alejandro Theodoro Orellana, 29, faces federal charges for allegedly “distributing face shields to suspected rioters” to protesters on June 11.

Users shared untrue claims about California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others during the 2025 LA protests.

The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

The U.S. military will not be responsible for law enforcement at Los Angeles protests, the Pentagon said on Friday. Why it matters: Nearly 5,000 National Guard members and Marines were deployed by the Trump administration in response to anti-immigration raid protests, despite disapproval from a plurality of Americans.

Details on the "No Kings" protests scheduled Saturday across Los Angeles, including locations, times, and how to find “No Kings protest near me" and “No Kings protest locations."
