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 a civilian, restraining his hands with zip ties and then handing him over to civilians from the Department of Homeland Security.

Reuters wire photos identify the detained man as Marcos Leao, a 27-year-old veteran. It is unclear if he is still in US custody.

Civilian detained and released by marines is US army veteran who says ‘they’re just doing their job’
Marcos Leao, the first detained civilian by the US marines since Trump deployed troops to California, spoke to reporters after he was released. Leao, an army veteran, said he was on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow-tape boundary and was asked to stop, according to Reuters.
The 27-year-old, who gained his US citizenship through military service, said he was treated “very fairly.” “They’re just doing their job,” said Leao, who is of Angolan and Portuguese descent.
he might just not want the Sauron’s eye of the white house vengeance machine to turn onto him, and saying whatever sounds good to be ignored
He’s literally a veteran, let’s not be giving him too much credit
i wasn’t but also i understand human behavior to a degree. veteran or not
I don’t doubt staying out of trouble was a consideration, but if he’s not also a bootlicker I’ll eat my hat.
I swear I got transported to The Onion™ Universe or something a while back

they literally said on one of the state news channels just a few hours ago that the marines and national guard have done no policing or detaining at all. Goddamn they really are brazen.
