All Military Deployments in Los Angeles Withdrawn as Stability Restores

The US Pentagon has withdrawn all 700 active-duty Marines from Los Angeles, a month after their deployment by the Trump administration to support federal immigration enforcement amid protests. The move follows the withdrawal of 2,000 National Guard troops and is seen as a response to the return of stability in the city. Local officials, including LA Mayor Karen Bass, criticized the deployment as inappropriate, and the Pentagon stated the Marines' presence achieved its goal of restoring order. The deployment had been controversial, with some officials calling it unnecessary and provocative.
