The Trump administration announced the withdrawal of 2,000 National Guard troops from Los Angeles, following the deployment of approximately 4,000 National Guard and 700 Marines earlier in June. This decision came in response to a reduction in lawlessness and the success of local protests against federal immigration raids, which resulted in arrests of nearly 2,800 undocumented immigrants. Mayor Karen Bass attributed the troop withdrawal to peaceful protest efforts and legal actions. Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the continued presence of federal troops, urging for their complete withdrawal.
The Trump administration reported that half of the troops in Los Angeles would withdraw following reduced lawlessness, impacting the ongoing federal immigration enforcement.
2,000 National Guard troops have been ordered to leave Los Angeles after protests led by local leaders and a court ruling against racial discrimination in immigration raids.
