Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff have sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth requesting a detailed breakdown of military deployments to Los Angeles amid recent immigration enforcement protests in the city. AdvertisementPresident Trump ordered the federalization of some 4,100 National Guard troops in California in June, as L.A. protests erupted over his administration’s immigration policies. Most of those forces have since departed, but Padilla and Schiff said 300 Guard troops remain activated. AdvertisementPadilla and Schiff asked for specific totals on the number of California Guard troops and Marines deployed to L.A., and details as to which units they were drawn from and whether any out-of-state Guard personnel were brought in. The 1878 law applies to U.S. Marines and to Guard troops who, like those in L.A., have been federalized.
