By Brad Brooks, Jorge Garcia, Idrees Ali and Phil StewartLOS ANGELES (Reuters) -U.S. Marines were deployed to Los Angeles on Friday, the military said, a rare domestic use of its forces as protests over President Donald Trump's immigration raids spread nationwide.

US Marines who are part of a military deployment ordered by President Donald Trump began arriving at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles, positioning them miles away from the areas where protests spurred by immigration raids have taken place.

Roughly 700 Marines from the Twentynine Palms base have been mobilized in response to protests and unrest in Los Angeles.
