The US Defense Ministry headquarters ‘Pentagon’ announced that 2,000 soldiers of National Guard deployed in Los Angeles were being called back to control the protests against the trump administration’s immigration policies.
Los Angeles has been deployed in the ‘National Guard’ and 700 ‘Marines’ since the beginning of June. Out of which it has been decided to reduce the number of soldiers, although it is not yet clear why the soldiers are being called back and how long the remaining soldiers will be stationed.
The top military commander, in charge of the soldiers posted at Los Angeles, requested Defense Minister Pete Hegseth at the end of June to send 200 of them to the task of extinguishing the fire in the forests of Californis.
In fact, California Governor Gavin Nyusam had said that the National Guard does not have enough soldiers to control the fire. Pentagon’s chief spokesperson Sean Parnel announced the decision to terminate the deployment of soldiers on Tuesday, saying, “Thank you to our soldiers who took the front.”Now the situation in Los Angeles is under control. ”
On June 8, thousands of protesters took to the streets to protest against the deployment of National Guard by Trump and blocked a major highway. Police fired tear gas shells to control the crowd.
