This military presence is intended to support the existing 2,000 National Guard personnel amidst ongoing riots in the city. McDonnell warned that the lack of communication could lead to critically important logistical difficulties in managing public safety, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts among all agencies involved to prevent confusion and escalation during this challenging situation.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized the federal intervention, describing it as an &#8220;experiment&#8221; that undermines local authority and asserting that it exacerbates chaos, which, according to her, originated from Washington, D.C. The deployment of military forces has sparked a division in opinion, with Republicans supporting President Trump&#8217;s decision as necessary for handling the unrest, while Democrats, including Senator Jack reed, condemned it as an overreach that could worsen the crisis. Public sentiment towards the riots remains largely negative, with a YouGov poll indicating that only 36% of respondents viewed the protests favorably.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">LAPD chief says department not notified of Marine arrival, could present &lsquo;significant&rsquo; challenges<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2143796\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The Los Angeles Police Department chief said his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/caltechs-underhanded-move-sees-dei-program-saved-promotion-for-its-assistant-vp\/\" title=\"Caltech&#039;s Underhanded Move Sees DEI Program Saved, Promotion for Its Assistant VP\">department wasn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t notified of President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump's\">Donald Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3435916\/hundreds-marines-deploy-los-angeles-ice-protests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Marine deployment\">Marine deployment<\/a>, warning that logistical challenges could ensue.<\/p>\n<p>Trump deployed roughly 700 Marines into Los Angeles on Monday, meant to supplement about 2,000 National Guard members in dealing with violent riots that have engulfed the city.
