US military was deployed to LA protests despite low risk, general testifies

What Happened: A federal trial revealed that Trump sent Marines and Guard troops to LA despite intelligence showing little threat to federal property. California says the move violated the Posse Comitatus Act, with troops aiding ICE raids and arrests. Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman testified he initially denied the request before it was approved by Pete Hegseth.

Why It Matters: Deploying troops for domestic policing without credible threats erodes the long-standing civilian control of the military. Trump is normalizing armed forces as a political tool for intimidation and public theater.
