he was just on @apnews live and said that since he went in past yellow tape and then came back they thought he was suspicious so they arrested him. He was allowed to go after they vetted him. He informed everyone not to go to the
VA as it had been closed. Not receiving anyone right now.

I absolutely agree. there is NO reason for them to be on the streets of the United States!

This is some bogus shit. It's illegal and the right wing SCOTUS is the underlying cause of ALL of this. You can trace everything back to them. If I was still in uniform I'd refuse to take part in this and I'd happily take the NJP if they wanted to go for it. Fuck that. Not "detaining" U.S. citizens on U.S. soil.

I wonder if someone would be able to get charges tossed due to illegal detention?

Reuters images showed #Marines apprehending a #civilian, restraining his hands w/zip ties & then handing him over to civilians from #DHS.

Asked about the incident, US #military's Northern Command spox said active duty forces "may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances."

"Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel," a spox said.

Update:

Speaking to reporters after he was released, the #civilian identified himself as Marcos Leao, 27. Leao said he was an #Army #veteran on
his way to an office of the Department of #VeteransAffairs when he crossed a yellow tape boundary & was asked to stop. [then forced to the ground on his stomach while #Marines handcuffed him with zip ties]

Because an immigrant who is in the US illegally, would be heading into the... Department of Veterans fucking Affairs!
in reply to Nonilex

"Actualización:

Al hablar con la prensa tras su liberación, el civil se identificó como Marcos Leao, de 27 años. Leao dijo que era un veterano del Ejército que se dirigía a una oficina del Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos cuando cruzó una cinta amarilla y le pidieron que se detuviera. [Luego lo obligaron a tumbarse boca abajo mientras los marines lo esposaban con bridas]."

in California, citizen's arrests are permitted under Penal Code 837 PC. Any citizen can arrest another person for a misdemeanor committed in their presence or if they have reasonable cause to believe the person committed a felony. They may detain the individual until they can safely and securely turn them over to appropriate law enforcement.
Same law that lets security guards detain shoplifters until police arrive.

They are not acting as citizens. They are active duty United States Marines acting on orders from the president & the secretary of defense.

I can't express strongly enough how we as citizens have a duty to expel these Marines from L.A.

Worst quote
<<The 200 Marines and more than 2,000 National Guard now deployed to Los Angeles are tasked with protecting federal property and federal personnel. They will be joined by an additional 500 Marines and 2,000 more National Guard soldiers.

This means that they will accompany ICE agents on raids, officials have said.

I really hope evidence is being gathered on all who obey these illegal orders. It may never get to be used, but by god if it can it must.

A blatant illegal violation of the Posse Comitatus Act 😡
