[Global Network Report Reporter Li Sa] After US Secretary of Defense Hegseth threatened to "mobilize the Marines" on the 7th to deal with the riots in Los Angeles, just now, US California Governor Newsom posted a message on X, saying, "The Secretary of Defense threatened to send active-duty Marines to deal with their citizens on US territory. This is simply crazy."

Since the morning of the 6th, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau and other federal agencies have dispatched a large number of law enforcement personnel to carry out law enforcement actions against illegal immigrants in many places in Los Angeles County, California. These actions have caused a lot of street standoffs, chaos and conflict for two consecutive days. The conflict is still continuing.
White House Press Secretary Levitt issued a statement on the 7th saying that U.S. President Trump has signed a memorandum to deploy 2,000 National Guard personnel to Los Angeles to assist federal agency law enforcement officers in carrying out large-scale raids against illegal immigrants in southern California.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseyth then stated on social media that the Department of Defense is mobilizing National Guard personnel to implement relevant orders, and the Marine Corps stationed at Pendleton Base will also receive a mobilization order, and the department has entered a high alert state.
Before the White House statement was released, Trump said on social media that if California authorities cannot "show their duties", the federal government will "intervene and resolve the problem." California Governor Newsom responded quickly that the federal government is trying to "take over the California National Guard", a move that was "deliberate incitement" and would "further increase tensions."
