More National Guard troops leaving Los Angeles, Pentagon says

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Pentagon has confirmed that more National Guard troops will soon depart Los Angeles. They were initially deployed to the area in response to protests ignited by federal immigration raids.

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell reported that approximately 1,350 federalized California National Guardsmen have been relieved from their deployment duties in L.A.

In a post on X late Wednesday night, Mayor Karen Bass called it “another win for Los Angeles.”

“We will continue this pressure until ALL troops are out of L.A.,” she added.

This decision follows the Pentagon’s previous confirmation that 700 Marines would also be exiting the city. Earlier this month, an additional 2,000 National Guard members were retracted.

Parnell said about 250 Guardsmen remain in Los Angeles to “protect federal personnel and property.”

Guard troop activity in the city was primarily focused around two federal building locations in Los Angeles, including the downtown U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and detention facility. Some troops were tasked with safeguarding federal agents during immigration operations.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
