Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is again calling for an end to the "unnecessary deployment" of National Guard troops in the city after the federal government had them sent to the region in response to immigration enforcement protests.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass started her week making headlines. She talked about wanting to rid the city of all National Guard troops and saying she has no problem with the Los Angeles Fire Department lacking a permanent chief during the current wildfire season.

This comes after the Trump administration last week reduced the troops' size by half to 2,000 National Guard members.

President Trump mobilized the troops on June 7 in the wake of chaotic protests. They have remained in Southern California several weeks after most of the demonstrations had ended.

He’s held calls with a handful of his union’s members worried for spouses and family members who are undocumented and are now in the crosshairs of ICE officials sent by the Trump administration to Los Angeles for the first wave of his mass deportation campaign.
