LOS ANGELES − Two people have been charged with throwing firebombs during five days of protests that have rocked a downtown section of the city and prompted President Trump' controversial decision to send 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines here, authorities said Wednesday.

Pentagon is deploying some 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid the immigration protests, officials told the media. LA Governor Newsam meanwhile vowed to sue the Trump administration over the National Guard deployment.
