By Omar Younis, Brad Brooks, Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles made their first detention of a civilian on Friday, part of a rare use of military force to support domestic police and coming ahead of national protests over President Donald Trump's military parade in Washington.

While the president contends that the L.A. protests against his immigration policy have been chaotic, the scenes are not as violent.

Donald Trump is finally getting his military parade — with a major backlash. Weeks ago, we learned the White House was co-opting plans for a celebration of the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary to give Trump the birthday bash of his dreams.

Protests against the Trump administration, which are set to continue this weekend after a week of uprising that spread from Los Angeles across the country, have energized a portion of the left-wing base that has been despondent since President Trump’s election.

After months of courting Republicans, the Democratic governor now warns Trump is undermining democracy with the military deployment in Los Angeles.

While protests Wednesday were relatively peaceful, some turned into scenes of chaos as police fired with less lethal munitions to the disperse crowds.

State argues Trump broke federal law by calling in 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles protests, while White House insists it is rightful exercise of president’s military powers
