<h1>Pentagon withdraws 700 Marines from immigration protests after month-long deployment despite local opposition</h1> The Pentagon withdrew 700 Marines from Los Angeles following their deployment during immigration-related protests. The federal administration had deployed the Marines on June 9, the fourth day of downtown protests against immigration enforcement policies, despite opposition from local officials. Four thousand National Guard soldiers were also deployed simultaneously. The Marines were stationed at two federal facilities, including an immigration enforcement office and detention center. The withdrawal occurred after half the National Guard troops were removed the previous week, though remaining Guard personnel stayed in position. A Pentagon spokesperson stated the military presence demonstrated that lawlessness would not be tolerated. The Marines had been deployed for over a month before their withdrawal order.
