The Trump administration recently approved a request from the military commander of the National Guard troops deployed to respond to immigration-related unrest in the Los Angeles area to return some of the troops to California's command.

The Trump administration released some 150 California National Guard troops from federal duties in Los Angeles on Tuesday as the region faces threats from multiple wildfires. Why it matters: It's the first time the administration has released National Guard members since President Trump deployed thousands of troops and 700 U.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”
