Around 40 United States Marines were stationed at the Wilshire Federal Building in Westwood – and had detained one person – as of 4:40 p.m Friday. 

About 200 Marines arrived in Westwood on Friday morning, according to CBS News. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he would deploy 700 Marines to Los Angeles to support 4,000 National Guard troops that were sent to LA earlier this week. The guard was sent in response to protests against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that began June 6.

The Marines detained a person outside of the federal building in the early afternoon who tried to duck under the yellow caution tape outside of the building while running an errand, according to the New York Times. The instance marked the first time federal troops – which rarely detain U.S. civilians – have detained a person since arriving in LA to respond to anti-ICE protests.

The marines were equipped with firearms and wore helmets and other protective gear.

ICE conducted raids in the Westlake District, downtown LA and south LA neighborhoods June 6. Federal agents had detained 330 people in Southern California as of Wednesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Wednesday briefing. 

On Tuesday, Mayor Karen Bass announced an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew in parts of downtown LA after four days of anti-ICE protests.

A nationwide “No Kings” demonstration – which will protest executive overreach – is planned for Saturday, with protests set to happen in several neighborhoods across LA, including downtown LA and Beverly Hills.

Around 30 National Guard troops were previously stationed outside the federal building beginning Sunday. However, there were only two guardsmen visible outside of the building as of 5:20 p.m.

While U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled Thursday that Trump’s deployment of the California National Guard was illegal, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the ruling later that day. The Trump administration will maintain control of troops until at least June 17, when a panel of judges from the court will hold a hearing on the matter.  

A military vehicle was parked in the federal building driveway on Veteran Avenue. Around four other military vehicles were also stationed at the building’s parking lot as of 4:40 p.m.

Several LAPD and LA County Sheriff’s Department cars entered the building’s parking lot at 5:15 p.m.

California Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a Department of Homeland Security news conference at the Wilshire Federal Building on Thursday – and was subsequently pushed to the ground and handcuffed – after shouting a question at Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

Padilla’s office said in a press statement that he was acting within his role as a senator when he was removed.

“He was in the federal building to receive a briefing with General Guillot and was listening to Secretary Noem’s press conference,” a spokesperson said in the statement. “He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed.”
