Half of National Guard Troops Deployed in Los Angeles Are Recalled

The Pentagon has ended the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, which was initially sent to manage protests over the Trump administration's immigration policies. The deployment, which included around 4,000 soldiers and 700 Marines, was part of a 60-day operation that faced legal challenges and public criticism, especially from California officials. The troops' presence was associated with protests, law enforcement actions, and controversial operations, but their withdrawal marks a significant change in the federal response to civil unrest in the city.
