More than 700 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, and the troops will join the thousands of National Guard members who were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or LA’s mayor.

Authorities swept in with flash-bangs and tear gas grenades to disperse hundreds of protesters in Los Angeles.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that Marines from nearby Camp Pendleton were ready to deploy if necessary.

The 700 Marines deployed to Los Angeles by President Donald Trump have not yet hit the streets and are instead on standby and carrying out nonlethal training.

The Marines began nonlethal training while preparing to deploy to Los Angeles to supplement National Guardsmen there.

The spokesperson told CNN the Marines "have not completed [Standing Rules for the Use of Force] and nonlethal weapons training."
