Marines already on the job in LA
NEW: United States Marines carry out the first known detention of a civilian in Los Angeles, California.
The Marines were seen detaining a man at the Wilshire Federal Building in LA.
The man who was detained was later identified as Marcos Leao, an army veteran.
Leao said he was heading to the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow-tape boundary.
The man, 27, says he gained US citizenship through military service, and praised the Marines for treating him "very fairly."
"They’re just doing their job," Leao said.
