The Pentagon has ordered the withdrawal of 700 active-duty Marines from Los Angeles, ending a controversial deployment aimed at protecting federal property amid protests sparked by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The Marines were dispatched in June 2025 alongside 4,000 California National Guard troops, despite opposition from Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. The deployment followed widespread demonstrations against aggressive immigration raids by ICE agents, particularly workplace raids that had previously been rare.
"With stability returning to Los Angeles, the Secretary has directed the redeployment of the 700 Marines whose presence sent a clear message: Lawlessness will not be tolerated," said Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell.
Last week, the Pentagon also began withdrawing about half of the National Guard personnel stationed in the city. Trump’s move to send military forces into Los Angeles triggered heated national debate over the use of U.S. troops on domestic soil, further intensifying political divisions in California and beyond.
A U.S. appeals court later ruled that Trump could retain federal control over the state’s National Guard forces, allowing the administration to continue military involvement in immigration enforcement.
The Pentagon defended the operation, emphasizing that the Marines played a vital role in supporting ICE agents and preserving order. “Their rapid response, unwavering discipline, and unmistakable presence were instrumental in restoring order and upholding the rule of law,” Parnell added.
Trump has ramped up efforts to deport undocumented immigrants, including targeting agricultural job sites. The administration faces ongoing legal challenges over its enforcement methods.
In addition to the Los Angeles deployment, active-duty troops remain stationed at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Pentagon has also established new military zones in border areas, enabling the detention of migrants without triggering the Insurrection Act.
