The Trump administration said Tuesday it is ending the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles. Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell announced the decision in a statement.

Roughly 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines had been deployed. It wasn’t immediately clear how long the rest would stay in the region. The troops were tasked with protecting federal buildings and guarding immigration agents as they carry out arrests.
