Newsom Applauds Withdrawal of National Guard, Blasts ICE and Trump
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, JUL 16 – The Pentagon is withdrawing half of the 4,000 National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles due to decreased unrest, with 2,000 soldiers and 700 Marines remaining, officials said.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom praised the Pentagon's decision on Tuesday to begin pulling back half of the National Guard forces deployed in Los Angeles amid ongoing tensions.
- The withdrawal followed a contentious deployment initiated in early June to support immigration enforcement during anti-ICE protests and protect federal facilities.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles both voiced strong opposition to the deployment, filing legal challenges and labeling the mission as politically driven and unnecessary, while troops remained inactive instead of being deployed to combat wildfires.
- Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that with the troops having fulfilled their duties, the disorder in Los Angeles is diminishing, and many of the soldiers will be able to return home.
- The partial troop withdrawal indicates a reduction in tensions but does not resolve ongoing legal disputes over military control, underscoring significant conflicts between national immigration policies and local government priorities.
