Overview

  • The Defense Department announced on July 22 that all 700 Marines deployed in early June will return to their home stations.
  • This withdrawal follows last week’s removal of roughly 2,000 California National Guard troops, halving the Guard presence in Los Angeles.
  • Thousands of Guard members remain stationed around federal buildings and ICE operation sites while court battles over the federal deployment proceed.
  • Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the Marine deployment as an unnecessary military occupation and welcomed the redeployment order.
  • The unprecedented activation of state Guard units without gubernatorial consent since 1965 has raised constitutional questions over federal authority in domestic law enforcement.
