Marines deployed to Los Angeles carried out the detention of a civilian Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by President Donald Trump.

The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles where Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier Friday, in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protests over immigration raids.
