A federal judge is hearing arguments on whether troops deployed this summer by the Trump administration to LA violated the Posse Comitatus Act.
The Pentagon is ending the deployment of all but 250 National Guard troops that were originally sent to LA in response to immigration protests.
The 2,000 National Guardsmen account for nearly half of the soldiers sent to the city to deal with protests over Trump's immigration crackdown.
The commander in charge of the troops in LA asked the Defense Secretary if 200 of those forces could be returned to wildfire fighting duty.
