Marines Receive Civilian Disturbance Training for Deployment Amidst ICE Protests

Civilian Unrest and Protests

• ⚠️ Protests against ICE have occurred in at least 37 cities across the US, with significant demonstrations in Los Angeles.
• 🚨 In Los Angeles, protesters were arrested for marching out of curfew zones and not complying with police orders.
• ⚖️ Over a dozen individuals have been charged with crimes related to these demonstrations.

Marine Corps Training and Deployment

• 훈련 Marines deployed to Southern California have undergone specialized training, including crowd control and deescalation tactics.
• 📜 They also received instruction on their legal authorities, emphasizing that the military cannot engage in civilian law enforcement without invoking the Insurrection Act.
• 🏛️ The Marines are expected to perform a role similar to the National Guard, guarding federal buildings like immigration courts and ICE Field Offices.
• 🤝 They may also join ICE operations to protect deportation agents involved in arresting immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally.

ICE Operations and Due Process

• 📈 ICE arrests have increased by over 100% since President Trump's first 100 days, with 1,400-1,600 arrests per day nationwide.
• ⚖️ Typically, individuals encountered by ICE are processed under immigration law, with pending asylum cases adjudicated before deportation.
• 🚫 However, the administration's expedited removal policy allows for deportation without a full immigration court process for recent border crossers who have been in the US for less than two years.
