“Thanks to our troops who stepped up to answer the call, the lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding,” U.S. Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said Tuesday. “As such, the Secretary has ordered the release of 2,000 California National Guardsmen (79th IBCT) from the federal protection mission.”
In June, President Trump mobilized about 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines to deal with the violent response to the administration’s immigration enforcement operations around Los Angeles.
LA Mayor Karen Bass falsely claimed the “retreat” was in response to Democratic pushback.
“This happened because the people of Los Angeles stood united and stood strong. We organized peaceful protests, we came together at rallies, we took the Trump administration to court — all of this led to today’s retreat,” she said in a statement. “We will not stop making our voices heard until this ends, not just here in LA, but throughout our country.”
This retreat happened because the people of Los Angeles stood united and stood strong.
My message today to Angelenos is clear — I will never stop fighting for this city. We will not stop making our voices heard until this ends, not just here in LA, but throughout our country. https://t.co/4kHMuZcsRQ

Absolute horse crap. The “retreat” happened because the administration considered the current operation a success and decided it was time to scale back. This had NOTHING to do with anything sorry a** Dems in CA did. Nothing. pic.twitter.com/LDAwi3a6AR
