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 recently approved a request from the military commander of the National Guard troops deployed to respond to immigration-related unrest in the Los Angeles area to return some of the troops to California's command.

Officials said 150 members of Task Force 51, a deployable command post, were released from the federal protection mission on Tuesday.
