A major southern California highway was shut down for a U.S.\u00a0Marine Corps\u00a0demonstration on Oct. 18. The event pitted California Gov. Gavin Newsom against the federal government yet again.<\/p>\n
Interstate 5 shut down from Harbor Drive to Basilone Road, a stretch of the main artery over 15 miles, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time, according to the California Highway Patrol. Vice President\u00a0JD Vance\u00a0and Secretary of War\u00a0Pete Hegseth\u00a0attended the event at Camp Pendleton,\u00a0commemorating the Marines’ 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n
The news comes after days of back-and-forth between Gov. Gavin Newsom, federal officials and the Marines over whether the demonstration would require any roads to close.<\/p>\n
