US EditionGet the Facts: Are California National Guard Members Being Pulled From Wildfires to Go to LA?
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced the end of the city's nighttime curfew amid continued immigration enforcement actions and the presence of federal troops in downtown Los Angeles.
- The curfew and military presence follow President Trump's deployment of about 4,800 federal troops, including 4,100 California National Guard members and 700 Marines, to protect federal property during protests.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the troop deployment, alleging it stripped firefighting crews, including members of Joint Task Force Rattlesnake, from wildfire response amid the Monte Fire emergency.
- The California National Guard reported that a majority of the more than 300 members of Task Force Rattlesnake were federally activated and deployed to Los Angeles, which has led to three firefighters being injured and the issuance of evacuation orders.
- The federal troop deployment and curfew lifting have intensified a legal battle over control of the National Guard between Trump and Newsom, with appellate courts hearing arguments but making no final ruling yet.
