Trump’s Military Troops Deployment in Los Angeles Cost $120 Million, California Governor Says
Judge Charles Breyer ruled the National Guard deployment during LA immigration protests violated the Posse Comitatus Act, with costs exceeding $120 million, officials said.
- In early June 2025, President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of thousands of National Guard members along with several hundred Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests related to immigration enforcement.
- The deployment followed violent clashes during immigration enforcement raids and occurred despite opposition from California Governor Gavin Newsom.
- Most troops returned home last month, but 300 National Guard members remain stationed in Los Angeles amid ongoing legal disputes.
- Newsom stated the deployment cost taxpayers approximately $120 million, including $71 million for food, $37 million payroll, and cited the effort as "political theater."
- A federal judge ruled the deployment violated the Posse Comitatus Act, resulting in injunctions and appeals as the administration plans future troop deployments in other cities.
