“多亏我们的军队响应号召,洛杉矶的违法现象正在消退。因此,部长已经下令从联邦保护任务中释放2000名加州国民警卫队队员(第79[步兵旅战斗队]),”五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔在提供给美国广播公司新闻的一份声明中说。

6月7日,2000名加州国民警卫队队员被宣布首批部署到洛杉矶。
当时,国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)在社交媒体上表示,“如果暴力继续,他准备派遣现役海军陆战队。”两天后,美国北方司令部宣布,来自加利福尼亚州29个棕榈镇的700名海军陆战队员将被部署到洛杉矶。

Pentagon pulling 2,000 National Guard deployed to LA amid ICE protests
The U.S. military presence inLos Angelesis being reduced by almost half as the Pentagon confirms that 2,000 California National Guard members are being withdrawn from the mission to protect federal buildings and personnel that followed protests ofImmigrationand Customs Enforcement operations in Los Angeles.
“Thanks to our troops who stepped up to answer the call, the lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding. As such, the Secretary has ordered the release of 2,000 California National Guardsmen (79th [Infantry Brigade Combat Team]) from the federal protection mission,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement provided to ABC News.
Nearly 4,700 personnel had been provided to that mission with 700 of them being active-duty Marines and the remaining 4,000 coming from the California National Guard.
The initial deployment of 2,000 California National Guard members to Los Angeles was announced on June 7.
At the time, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on social media that he was prepared to send active-duty Marines “if violence continues.” Two days later, U.S. Northern Command announced that 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms in California were being deployed to Los Angeles.
An additional 2,000 National Guard members were later mobilized for the mission in Los Angeles.
Some of the Guard members later received specific training to provide perimeter security during ICE operations and were not carrying out law enforcement duties. However, they were authorized to temporarily detain individuals if needed and then quickly turn them over to law enforcement personnel.
