NBC News - California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would sue the Trump administration after it federalized 300 of the state's National Guard troops and deployed them to Oregon, just one day after a federal judge blocked the president's attempt to deploy Oregon National Guard troops in Portland.
Newsbreak - A federal judge [temporarily] blocked President Donald Trump’s call-up of 200 National Guard troops in Oregon, ruling on Saturday that Trump’s claims of daily unrest in Portland were “untethered to facts” and risked plunging the nation into an unconstitutional form of military rule.
“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law,” wrote U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee.
Immergut said Trump’s decision to enlist members of Oregon’s National Guard was based on false claims about nightly unrest targeting federal immigration authorities and buildings in Portland. Though Trump described the city as “war-ravaged” and wracked with violence, police said immigration-related protests had been small, manageable and largely peaceful in the days leading up to Trump’s pronouncement.
