The Trump administration announced the end of the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles. About 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines had been sent to protect federal buildings and assist immigration agents amid protests against immigration raids. The deployment began in early June and was met with statewide opposition from Governor Gavin Newsom, who filed a lawsuit. Despite a district court ruling against the President, an appeals court allowed the deployment to continue. Newsom criticized the deployment, stating it disrupted families and served political purposes.
The deployment of roughly 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines in Los Angeles was ordered by President Trump in response to protests against immigration raids.
Gov. Gavin Newsom opposed the deployment, arguing it has disrupted the lives of National Guard members and served political purposes rather than community needs.
As nearly 2,000 troops begin to demobilize, remaining members of the National Guard lack a clear mission, according to Newsom.
The ongoing legal case surrounding the deployment reflects Governor Newsom's challenge to the legality of the President's actions regarding the National Guard.
