The Pentagon is ending the deployment of all but 250 National Guard troops that remained in Los Angeles who were originally sent to the city to deal with protests over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

The troops were deployed after protests over immigration raids last month. California opposed the deployment, calling it a military overreach by the Trump administration.
