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.

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.

A volley of court rulings has made the legal path unclear in a case challenging President Trump’s use of troops in Los Angeles. For now, the president has retained control of the state militia.
