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.

A federal appeals court on Thursday delayed an order requiring the Trump administration to return control of the California National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom, dealing the administration a temporary reprieve to what would have been a major reversal of its policy on the protests in LA.

Earlier Thursday, a federal judge in California issued a temporary restraining order that would have blocked Trump's deployment of California National Guard troops during protests over immigration raids in LA and returned control of the Guard to Newsom, who did not consent to the Guard's activation.

The order was set to take effect on noon Friday local time, but a panel of three judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay of the lower court’s order and set a hearing for June 17.

In a Friday morning post to Truth Social, Trump praised the appeals court's decision, saying once again, "If I didn’t send the Military into Los Angeles, that city would be burning to the ground right now."
