Pete Hegseth LIVE | 'What Authority?': Democrats questions Defense Sec on marines deployed to LA

U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the deployment of thousands of troops to Los Angeles was about maintaining law and order as federal agents do their job. "The mission in Los Angeles... it is about maintaining law and order on behalf of law enforcement agents, who deserve to do their job without being attacked by mobs of people," Hegseth told lawmakers during a U.S. Senate hearing. Hegseth added that the deployment of the 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines was lawful and constitutional.
