Hegseth Defends Trump Decision to Send Marines to Los Angeles
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says President Donald Trump was legally allowed to deploy Marines into Los Angeles, telling Congress that the Trump administration wants to protect immigration agents and keep demonstrations there from getting out of control.
Pete Hegseth was met with bipartisan criticism Wednesday during the Senate defense appropriations subcommittee hearing.
"I don’t think that’s heavy-handed," House Speaker Mike Johnson said about the possibility of sending active-duty military to respond to immigration protests in a major American city.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified as the Trump administration faces criticism over its decision to deploy troops to Los Angeles in response to protests over local immigration raids.
Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., quizzed Hegseth on the deployment of about 700 Marines to assist more than 4,100 National Guard troops in protecting federal buildings and personnel in LA.
