Per Idrees Ali of Reuters:
The #troops are authorized [by whom? Not by law] to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until #LawEnforcement can arrest them.

The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in #LosAngeles where #Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of US #troops after days of #protests over #immigration raids.

Well, the #PosseComitatusAct has officially been violated.
#NationalGuard troops have detained #civilians in #LAprotests, commander says
National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to #LawEnforcement [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].

Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman also said about 500 of the #NationalGuard #troops have been trained so far to accompany #ICE agents on #immigration operations.…
Sherman is commander of Task Force 51, which is overseeing the >4,000 Guard troops & 700 #Marines who have been deployed to #LosAngeles to provide security during the #protests.

There were numerous scenes of protesters throwing rocks or other objects at law enforcement officers & setting cars ablaze, including a number of self-driving #Waymo taxis. At the same time, false images spread to revive old #ConspiracyTheories that the #protests were a planned provocation, not a spontaneous response to the #immigration raids.

The confrontation escalated on Monday as new #protests occurred & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth announced—on X—that he was mobilizing 700 #Marines from a base near #LosAngeles to guard federal bldgs. They are expected to join 2k members of the #California#NationalGuard whom #Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the #state’s #governor, #GavinNewsom, who normally [legally] has command of the #troops.

“If they spit, we hit.”
That is 100% NOT how law enforcement is supposed to respond.
The #UseOfForce is limited by #proportionality.

Notably, #PeteHegseth has railed against #military lawyers who promoted what he saw as unduly restrictive rules of engagement aimed at protecting #civilians in war zones. He has fired the top judge advocate general (#JAG) lawyers who give advice on legal constraints.
