Trump administration officials said about 150 National Guard troops would be pulled out of Los Angeles after spending weeks there protecting federal property and personnel.

The Trump Administration is suing Los Angeles over sanctuary city policies that limit the city’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, claiming that they led to “lawlessness” when thousands of people took to the streets earlier this month to protest the President’s mass-deportation operation.

The Justice Department lawsuit aims to end "sanctuary" policies in Los Angeles and elsewhere that refuse to cooperate on immigration enforcement.
