Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass responded to a drawdown of U.S. Marines in Los Angeles by urging the federal government to remove all remaining troops still deployed in the city.
“This is another win for Los Angeles but this is also a win for those serving this country in uniform,” Bass said in a July 21 statement following a press conference she held alongside state Sen. Caroline Menjivar, a Democrat from Los Angeles, as well as veterans and the families of service members.
