Because - fires.
Marines are still in Los Angeles.More than a dozen wildfires were burning in California over Tuesday night, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The biggest was the Wolf Fire in Riverside County, where evacuation orders were in effect as the blaze burned across more than 2,400 acres at 40% containment after igniting on Sunday, per Cal Fire.

AP first reported that the commander of U.S. Northern Command, which has been overseeing the deployment of troops to the protests, had requested 200 members return to wildfire response duty.
USNORTHCOM confirmed in a statement that it was releasing about 150 California National Guard members from the federal protection mission at the recommendation of the commander, Gen. Gregory Guillot, in a move that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved.
The mission "is protecting federal personnel conducting federal functions, as well as federal property," the statement noted.

I doubt that will happen. We are in the process of becoming a full-fledged fascist country.Roughly 400 Marines are being sent to Los Angeles to replace the 700 already there.

The Marines already in the Los Angeles area have been assigned to guard federal buildings in the county, with the most visible presence at the Wilshire Federal Building, miles from where protests have been centered downtown. National Guard soldiers from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and the 49th Military Police Brigade have also been guarding the buildings, but some have accompanied ICE agents on immigration raids, and more than 300 took part in a large Drug Enforcement Administration-led raid near the Salton Sea, 136 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles.
Since the large “No Kings” protests around the country on June 14 — with several in Los Angeles County, including one that drew hundreds of thousands — protests have diminished in size but continue. Small groups of demonstrators continue to gather outside the Downtown Los Angeles federal plaza, partly in demand that the military leave the city.
