Marines To Begin Operations In Los Angeles Friday, Ahead Of Nationwide Anti-trump Protests
A U.S. official told Fox News Title 10 forces can temporarily detain individuals and transfer them to law enforcement.
"'Temporary detainment' is different than an arrest," the official said. "The Marines are not allowed to use handcuffs or zip ties to detain any individuals. They use an arm hold to escort the person to law enforcement, who will then decide what to do with the individual."

In pictures: The nationwide ‘No Kings' protests
More than 2,000 protests are scheduled across all 50 states Saturday through the No Kings movement, which organizers say seeks to reject 'authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.' The mobilization is a direct response to a military parade rolling through Washington, DC, on Saturday that celebrates the 250th anniversary of the US Army. It also coincides with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. Saturday's rallies have been amplified by a week of protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles and other major cities. Following the Hands Off! and 50501 protests this spring, Saturday's demonstrations aren't the first nationwide rejection of Trump's policies. But organizers expect them to be the largest. Millions of Americans are expected to take part.
