The Pentagon has ordered U.S. Marines to leave Los Angeles after more than a month in the city. The 700 Marines were deployed on June 9 during protests against the administration’s immigration policies.

President Donald Trump had ordered about 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles in June.

Pentagon officials announce the withdrawal of 700 active-duty Marines from Los Angeles following successful military response to quell civil unrest in the city. The Trump administration's deployment of troops in Southern California has faced criticism.
