The Pentagon confirmed the withdrawal of 700 active-duty US marines from Los Angeles, a month after their deployment by Trump amidst protests against immigration enforcement. This redeployment follows the recent withdrawal of 2,000 national guard troops and responds to local leaders' claims that the marine presence was unnecessary. The marines were said to have restored order and upheld the law during their deployment, which focused on protecting specific federal properties in the city, particularly involving immigration offices. The state governor had previously deemed the deployment unwarranted and unprecedented.
Sean Parnell confirmed that 700 active-duty US marines are being withdrawn from Los Angeles after Trump deployed them to the city amidst protests against immigration enforcement.
The marine deployment had been labeled unnecessary by local leaders while achieving its aim of restoring stability as protests against immigration raids were under control.
Parnell noted the marines sent a clear message: lawlessness will not be tolerated and expressed gratitude for their role in restoring order and upholding the rule of law.
The marines were deployed to protect federal property and personnel, primarily focusing on two locations that involved federal immigration offices in downtown Los Angeles.
