The Pentagon said on Tuesday it is withdrawing half of the 4,000 National Guard troops participating in a federal protection mission in Los Angeles.

In June, President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of the 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to protect federal buildings and personnel amid protests against federal immigration enforcement raids targeting illegal immigrants in the city—a move made against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
