Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by 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 on Friday, in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protests over immigration raids.

Reuters images showed Marines apprehending the man, restraining his hands with zip ties and then handing him over to civilians from the Department of Homeland Security.

    You really need to rewrite all this shit from scratch. 250 years is a good run, but at some point you need to restart to fix shit.

      They should rewrite everything every hundred years just to keep up with modern technology and development.

      But no matter what system, someone somewhere will always find ways to abuse everything

        Jefferson wanted it to be every 20 years. Every generation essentially.

        Instead we let the chuckle fucks in Congress stay as long as they want, into their 80s, across 4 generation. Determining laws for technologies and both global and local economic situations they have no comprehension of or even a chance at understanding.

        I wasn’t talking about the Supreme Court. The people should be holding a constitutional convention.

        The right already has a plan to do that, the people should have their own plan to counter it / take it over.

        And actually a big part of the issue is the Supreme Court intentionally misinterpreting the letter and spirit of the constitution. The first, second and fourth amendments were fine the way they were, the Supreme Court just chipped away at them until they meant nothing any more.
