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.

All righty then.

If armed soldiers who are paid by the government are preventing a person from leaving until law enforcement gets there, they are working as law enforcement officers

Americans are now the enemy to be defeated by the US military.

The military is supposed to work for THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Not fight them.

They are not just doing their job. They are following unlawful orders.

Haven't heard them mention the citizen part but I'm watching on a delay.

he’s a good American he should speak out forcefully to protect all citizens.
