LOS ANGELES (KABC) — More National Guard troops will be leaving Los Angeles after they were deployed to the region following protests sparked by federal immigration raids, the Pentagon confirmed.

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said that about 1,350 federalized California National Guardsmen have been released from their deployment in L.A.

In a post on X late Wednesday night, Mayor Karen Bass called it “another win for Los Angeles.”

“We will continue this pressure until ALL troops are out of L.A.,” she added.

The announcement comes after the Pentagon confirmed 700 Marines would be leaving the city. Another 2,000 National Guard troops were also withdrawn earlier this month.

Parnell said about 250 Guardsmen remain in Los Angeles to “protect federal personnel and property.”

The presence of Guard troops in the city had been mostly limited to two locations with federal buildings in Los Angeles, including the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and detention facility downtown. Some soldiers have been protecting federal agents during immigration raids.
