The New York Police Department has activated its Joint Operations Center in coordination with FBI, state, local and federal partners ahead of what is expected to be widespread protests Saturday across the city.

Some 34,000 members of the NYPD will be on the streets of New York City over the next 24 hours.

"You do not have a right to engage in violence and lawlessness," Mayor Eric Adams said in a news conference yesterday ahead of the planned protests.

United States Army North confirmed to ABC News that Marines at the Wilshire Federal Building have made the first temporary detention among the troops sent to Los Angeles on Friday.

In an interview earlier in the week, Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman -- the commander of Joint Task Force 51 -- said, "We're there to protect their federal officers, their federal personnel.”

If those personnel are assaulted, Sherman said, "Soldiers or Marines are allowed to take that person, detain them in place, wait for the federal law enforcement officer to come and arrest that individual."

It was not immediately clear what led to the detainment on Friday.

About 200 Marines are taking over responsibility for protecting the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles, Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman told reporters Friday.

The addition of those troops will allow more National Guardsmen to be trained to accompany federal personnel during Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, according to Sherman.

“The soldiers that were performing those duties will then transition to providing protection to federal law enforcement officers as they conduct their law enforcement function,” Sherman said. “I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities. Rather, they'll be focused on protecting federal law enforcement personnel."

Sherman serves as the commander of Joint Task Force 51, the command headquarters for the 4,000 federalized National Guardsmen and 700 Marines assigned to protect federal personnel and property in Los Angeles.

In an interview with ABC and the Associated Press earlier this week, Sherman said, as of then, about 500 of the 4,000 National Guardsmen assigned to the LA area had been specifically trained to work with ICE teams.

Marines are now on duty in Los Angeles for the first time. Some were spotted guarding the Wilshire Federal Building on Friday.

Border czar Tom Homan deferred to President Donald Trump when asked by ABC News if active duty Marines should be dispatched to LA, but he said he thinks more resources are needed.

"What we saw last night, I would ask for more resources, absolutely," Homan told ABC News Monday, warning that the "sky-high" rhetoric could cause protests to turn deadly.

Earlier on Monday, Homan refuted claims that he was going to arrest LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, telling Fox News that an interview from this weekend was taken out of context.

"The reporter asked about, 'Could Governor, Governor Newsom, or Mayor Bass, be arrested?' I said, 'Well, no one's above the law, if they cross the line and commit a crime. Absolutely they can,'" Homan explained. "So there was no discussion about arresting Newsom."

Homan said he was speaking broadly that if anyone "crosses the line," they will be prosecuted.

But hours later on Monday, Trump said it would be a "great thing" if Homan arrested Newsom.

"The president is backing me up," Homan explained to ABC News. "He knows better than anybody … no one is above the law."

If Newsom "broke the laws like any other U.S. citizen, we’ll ask the attorney general to investigate," Homan said.

Newsom is slamming the Trump administration sending the National Guard into LA as "authoritarian tendencies," but Homan said he disagrees.

Homan said the guard is in LA because Newsom "failed," and he said Trump "made a great move" sending the guard in to "protect property, officers and the general public."
