WASHINGTON — The Pentagon continued its withdrawal of troops sent to Los Angeles as part of President Donald Trump ’s crackdown on illegal immigration, ordering 700 Marines back to their base. Monday’s move follows a similar drawdown last week of 2,000 National Guard soldiers from Los Angeles.

U.S. Marines exit LA following month-long deployment that Mayor Karen Bass called an 'unnecessary, unprecedented, and unconstitutional assault' amid anti-ICE demonstrations.
