Pentagon Reduces National Guard in Los Angeles

News summary

The Pentagon has ordered the withdrawal of 2,000 California National Guard troops from Los Angeles, halving the military presence deployed in early June to respond to protests against federal immigration raids. President Trump federalized about 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, exercising federal authority over state forces without local approval. Legal challenges from state officials were initially successful at the district court level but were later overturned by an appeals court. The Pentagon attributes the drawdown to a decrease in lawlessness and views it as a sign of mission success, while local leaders argue it reflects public opposition to the deployment. Around 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines remain in Los Angeles, continuing to support federal agents and protect federal property. The situation has heightened debate over federal authority in domestic law enforcement.
