Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is again calling for an end to the “unnecessary deployment” of National Guard troops in the city, as roughly 2,000 remain for what the federal government is calling protection for immigration agents and federal property.

This comes after the Trump administration last week reduced the troops' size by half to 2,000 National Guard members.

Bass called the deployment of the National Guard a "chaotic escalation" of the situation, in a June 8 post to X.
