The Pentagon announced the departure of 700 active-duty Marines from Los Angeles, deployed due to protests against immigration enforcement. Recently, 2,000 federalized California National Guardsmen were also ordered to leave, marking a significant reduction from the original troop strength. The Marines were sent to protect federal buildings and personnel amid escalating unrest. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell emphasized the Marines' role in restoring order, stating their disciplined presence and rapid response were crucial and conveyed that lawlessness would not be tolerated, expressing gratitude for their service.
With stability returning to Los Angeles, the Secretary has directed the redeployment of the 700 Marines whose presence sent a clear message: lawlessness will not be tolerated. Their rapid response, unwavering discipline, and unmistakable presence were instrumental in restoring order and upholding the rule of law.
Last week, the Pentagon announced that 2,000 federalized California National Guardsman were also being moved out of the city. That's half the amount that were originally sent.
