Trump news at a glance: Marines arrive in LA and Republicans back Israel on attacking Iran
The GuardianSaturday, June 14, 2025 at 1:12:40 AM
Active-duty U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles detained a protester—marking the first known instance of military involvement in domestic law enforcement during recent immigration-related unrest. Meanwhile, Republicans voiced support for Israel’s hardline stance against Iran, as Democrats accused Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of undermining nuclear negotiations. The Marines also assumed control of a federal building, escalating tensions over the use of military force on home soil.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another day in U.S. politics—it’s a snapshot of rising domestic and international tensions. Sending Marines into American cities blurs the line between military and civilian policing, sparking concerns about overreach. Add in the partisan divide over Israel-Iran relations, and you’ve got a powder keg of political and diplomatic friction. It’s a story about how far the U.S. might go to enforce order at home while navigating volatile alliances abroad.
