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.

Roughly 150 California National Guard troops working in Los Angeles for more than three weeks guarding federal property from immigration protesters and providing protection to federal agents making arrests have been reassigned to help prepare for wildfire season.
