Together, the description gives the clearest sense yet of the military\u2019s bill for the administration\u2019s controversial deployments to the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/pentagon\/2025\/06\/10\/trumps-military-deployments-to-la-raise-legal-political-concerns\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25161009784576.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Trump\u2019s military deployments to LA raise legal, political concerns<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Trump issued a memo to deploy troops to areas where protests are occurring or &quot;likely to occur,&quot; which may allow forces to operate in other cities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last several days, the Pentagon has approved 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to head to Los Angeles, where they are tasked with protecting federal immigration officials and property. The rapid response comes after a weekend of protests in the area against the Trump administration\u2019s mass deportations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats \u2014 including California state and local officials \u2014 have decried the move as escalatory and sued for the troops\u2019 removal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost estimate came during a feisty exchange as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before the House on Tuesday. Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., pressed the secretary to explain why a deployment of active-duty troops was necessary \u2014 one of multiple times Democrats raised the issue during the hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPresident [Donald] Trump believes in law and order, so he has every authority,\u201d Hegseth said of the deployments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aguilar argued the mission rested on shaky legal ground and brought U.S. personnel close to performing domestic law enforcement, which is prohibited unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a
