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 sent the soldiers back to state command, allowing them to return to firefighting work. Thousands remain under federal control.

A federal appeals court rules that President Donald Trump acted lawfully in deploying the California National Guard to protect Los Angeles.
