About damned time!! Ridiculous to have them there to start with!! Not their job!! 👎👎👿🤬
Un-Constitutional that they were in the first place...America is no longer a free country...😢
That more officers and soldiers were disciplined for refusing the COVID shot than were for this “deployment” violating the law is a severe condemnation of our military’s commitment to the Constitution. Truly sad. Signed, A vet.
What a waste of time and money. Pathetic.
I wonder how much taxpayer money was wasted ?
The Nazi declared war on the wrong state. When California liberates itself from the US, the US will become bankrupt and those red states will lose all of their funds. He needs to stop lying about CA and leave us alone, WE ARE FINE WITHOUT HIS INTERFERENCE.
Performative clown show over already?
LA occupation would be a better title.
Thank you for ¿your service?
How much this exercise costed us?
At least now we know where the USMC's real loyalty lies. Semper Fuhrer.
Waste, abuse AND fraud.
Ice is taking over. With their latest infusion of funds, they don’t need the military.
They were NEVER needed! What a waste of their time & skills!
Pure deflection from Epstein. What are they going to try next? Elvis is alive??
Get the fuck out of our city. The USMC has destroyed its credibility for generations because of this treasonous felon. Oorah!
LA is waaaaay too expensive for Marines to be there long. And I guarantee that none of those dudes actually wanted to be there.

What a grotesque waste of money and resources. Just appalling virtue signaling crap to the redneck bigots. California. Remember. You’re the engine that drives the country. Maybe change course a little bit to put the pressure on. Just saying.
Complete waste/misuse of taxpayer money by tRump!
They did this to preemptively stop riots. But the riots never really broke out. The Latino community never fought back in a way that required the national guard. It's been months and only cost the city 30m. Comparatively the George Floyd riots caused 40m the first two weeks. A huge difference.
Thanks for the reasonable post. I agree, nothing really happened so they will go back to base. I haven't heard of any clashing with the national guard or military. I am assuming they used them to protect federal buildings.
Can't blame Trump for having ptsd over those riots. I think the government thought they were going to get more push back than they did. But honestly, I thought they would as well. Now that it's apparent the troops are not needed, they are pulling them out. Not a good look for anyone involved.
Stupid waste of taxpayer money
Next assignment: Chicago and/or New York to quell another fabricated 'crisis' by Trump and the WH to distract from the OBVIOUS.
How do these war fighters feel being used as pawns for a theatrical performance?
Have they finished oppressing the local population?
Did any go to Texas?
They’re going south to Oceanside…
"Deployment."
Waiting for the “Liberating Los Angeles, Paramount and Compton” movie.
Just make sure that the day after they leave you begin protesting again. Gotta keep at it or nothing will change!
So glad those proud marines will go home to terrorize their families instead of the families of LA
As a former Active Duty Marine Corps Infantryman and Desert Storm Veteran. That wasn’t a deployment on home soil. It was an absolute abomination against our own citizens and country for political theater. This administration is despicable and deplorable beyond the pale.
If i could repost a thousand times I would!
That a dark and damning page in the history of the Marine Corps
Such a HUGE WASTE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
This was such a national disgrace. We’re not even ONE YEAR into this nightmare.
This is a stain on the Corps legacy.
Sad that their PTSD will be following this stupid of an order just for theater.
Do they all get medals? Do they get special badges for being big brave boys? Do they need to go to therapy now for their PTSD?
There should be a campaign ribbon for this, specifically identifying Los Angeles as the site of deployment, so recipients have a concrete reminder upon which to reflect, and future historians have an artifact to catalog.
Womp womp.
I wonder what the battle ribbon for this deployment will look like....
They’re fucking traitors that spit on the constitution and wiped their asses with the American flag turning their guns on Americans to please a tyrant.
Their JAGs and COs all told them it was legal. Lance Corporals’ might be able to identify My Lai as an illegal operation but you shouldn’t have expected any rank and file 19 year olds to refuse these orders.
This is what happens when a President tries to use the military as political pawns, but is too stupid to understand how to play chess properly.
Fraud, waste, and abuse right here
Marines: they used to hunt terrorists, now they are the terrorists.
Thank you… 😉👍
Disgrace to Semper Fi
Great! That makes it all bettah! Right?
I think the Trump admin was hoping for a conflict there between the locals and the military to have a reason to deploy more troops and who knows what else... seems they didn't get it.
Hope they enjoyed shitting in Humvees thanks to their fearless bone spur leader
Accomplished absolutely nothing, as expected.
illegally deployed against Americans on American soil. shameful.
Look out War on Christmas. You’re old news! The next big thing the right will be bitching about is how Americans have stopped thanking veterans for their service.
Waste of money and resources for trumps cosplay.
#USMC intimidating fellow Americans. What a sad commentary on the few and the "proud"
Well that was a complete waste of time and money.
Money spent on provocation.
Should have honored their oath to the constitution. Traitors.
It was a total waste of taxpayer money.
The money was spent on fear mongering and provocation.
When the lists of those Marines comes out (and it will) all of those traitors & their families will have to live with their busted DD214s and the eternal shame of knowing they betrayed their country. Tainted valor.
Well, that didn't cost much to make a political statement. Oh,ya, you're paying for it not him.
Another Trump fascist failure.
Did they win?
Oath breakers, each and everyone of them.
Thank god it’s over. We were running out of good games to play. You can only play so much monopoly, chess and checkers while we waited for the enemy to show up. Can’t believe we got stood up.Maybe Next time.Thanks TACO.
We don't need to know they are leaving...
What a sham set up by a fake President...
They never should have been there to begin with!
No, no, they should have…in order to STOP ICE from violating people. Not to aid and abet ICE’s crimes.
A new verse will be added to the Marine's Hymn on the occasion of this great victory, according to an incorrectly capitalized and over exclamation-pointed post by the draft-dodger Donald Trump which I predict will bubble up on Truth Social at about 2 AM Eastern Time.
Declare victory!
That was a pointless, expensive, and stupid use of US military assets.

Thank you for your service and to help make our streets safe again. Too bad you had your hands tied and couldn't do your job "properly" as you should have been allowed to. MAGA 🇺🇸
They need to be redeployed, to the WH!
this was a national shame that those Marines will never live down
That’s gonna be an embarrassing medal to wear
I wonder how they feel about the 50K signing bonus given to mask wearing slobs and the $1000 a head bounty the kidnappers are getting?
But, but, Los Angeles is burning and rampant with lawlessness.
a stain on the Marines & National Guard that will not soon be forgotten...
Indeed
All of this so Stephen Miller could achieve his racist fantasies.
How much did that travesty cost?
At a cost of???
About fucking time. ...U.S. losing another pointless war ..💅🏼
Should have never been deployed in the first place. Even coworkers who are of those people mentioned the president and administration VIOLATED codes numerous times. There's gonna be a shit ton of lawsuits by states over this.
Good. But, no rule of law anymore with idiot Trump...
I hope they can wash the stain out of their uniforms.
So... not effective at deflecting from the Epstein thing?
Think tthen can pick some tomatoes before they leave? Or lettuce?
I believe this was a waste of $140M???? What happened to getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse? That won't happen until MAGA is out of office and a footnote in a history book.
They should have never been there. Gov. Newsom should have sued the Fed. for deploying using military force a ‘fake mission’!Subpoena the soldiers as to their mission! This was a ‘Fake Mission’! No Insurrection was official declared!
Shame on the Marines for ever participating.
Now if LAPD develops a backbone and exhibits some independence of operations the political theater might cease, ICE bounty hunters might return to their burrows as well and the Nat Guard can return to their service.
Past due they never should have been deployed. IMHO they’re being recalled following articles about military / guard support fading and morale sinking among those deployed. Attempt to avoid a future embarrassing situation?
Show's over.
so 4700 Marines and Guard...and how many people exactly did they arrest for "rioting"? 5? 12? 20? It's a pre-run for when Trump invokes martial law "until we can get to the bottom of this"...i.e when all those that would question him are in prison or dead. Fuck off, you fascist fucks!
I will never forgive the felon for doing this. I always had great respect for the UMSC as my late Dad was a Marine on Iwo in WWII. We need to weed out the corrupt in the military and in the WH
Now can these 700 Marines END the TACO administration? You know, like the Constitution, their oath of service, and the UCMJ not only permit, but REQUIRE them to do?!
