Overview

  • President Trump in early June ordered 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to secure federal property during protests over immigration raids.
  • The partial withdrawal was directed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and confirmed by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell in a statement Tuesday.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom sued under the Tenth Amendment to block the deployment, securing a district court injunction that the Ninth Circuit then stayed, leaving the dispute active.
  • Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass credited sustained peaceful protests and legal action by the community for prompting the troop reduction.
  • Several thousand Guard members remain on Title 10 orders in the region with no clear timetable for full demobilization or defined mission objectives.
