SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — President Donald Trump is sending 300 California National Guard members to Oregon after a judge temporarily blocked his administration from deploying that state’s guard to Portland, California’s governor said Sunday.
Gov. Gavin Newsom pledged Sunday to fight the move in court.

There was no official announcement from Washington that the California National Guard was being called up and sent to Oregon, just as was the case when Illinois’ governor made a similar announcement Saturday about troops in his state being activated.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said that 101 California National Guard members arrived in her state Saturday night by plane and more are on the way. Kotek said there has been no formal communication with the federal government about the deployment. “This action appears to intentional to circumvent yesterday’s ruling by a federal judge,” Kotek said Sunday. “There is no need for military intervention in Oregon. There is no insurrection in Portland. No threat to national security. Oregon is our home, not a military target.”

A spokesperson for Kotek said Sunday he could not verify the current location of the National Guard members who arrived in Oregon on Saturday, directing questions to the Defense Department

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — President Donald Trump is sending 300 California National Guard members to Oregon after a judge blocked the administration from deploying that state’s guard to Portland, according to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Newsom pledged Sunday to fight the move in court.

There was no official announcement from Washington that the California National Guard was being called up and sent to Oregon, just as was the case when Illinois’ governor made a similar announcement Saturday about troops in his state being activated.

Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement that California personnel were on their way Sunday and called the deployment “a breathtaking abuse of the law and power.” “The commander-in-chief is using the U.S. military as a political weapon against American citizens,” Newsom said in the statement. “We will take this fight to court, but the public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the president of the United States.”

A Trump-appointed federal judge in Oregon on Saturday temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s plan to deploy the Oregon National Guard in Portland to protect federal property amid protests after Trump called the city “war-ravaged.” Oregon officials and Portland residents alike said that description was ludicrous.

1. America's Version of the Tiananmen Square Massacre is Coming

That or the Kent State Massacre. Definitely, this case is headed to the SCOTUS. There, the SCROTUM-6 will queue up to fellate tr💩mp.

2. Piece of shit said Portland is burning unlike anywhere in the world

Of course nothing is happening there, but it will be before this piece of shit is done with it and Noem I guess.

Someone else can post it but just saw piece of shit former spiritual advisor convicted of child sex abuse.

3. The "supreme court" is cool with no rule of law. So here we are.

[in2herbs]

15. You wrote: "The "supreme court" is cool with no rule of law." Then on January 3, 2027 the

six supreme court justices shouldn't be surprised that they'll be facing impeachment even if only for lying under oath at their confirmation hearing.

4. Troops could leave the National Guard and join the California State Guard instead...

then they would only have to answer to Gov. Newsom and actually receive pay during the shutdown. In addition to suing the Federal government, Newsom might provide California funds for alternatives.

12. Catch is their service contract & awaiting future benefits

They may be in to fund education, provide health care to their family and maybe bectrying to get enough to be anle to collect retirement after they reach 65.

[Lovie777]

5. Didn't a judge's order deny such deployment?.......

shithole and comrades are American citizens like us, they need to follow the law. It's time for We the People demand it.

[quakerboy]

8. Sounds like they think they have a technicality

Judge apparently said they cant send the Oregon national guard to Portland, so they are now trying to send the California National guard. And if that is blocked, I assume Idaho or Nevada national guard will be called. They have 50 states to choose from, after all.

[surfered]

14. The Red state Governors would be happy to do it.

[bluestarone]

6. So, i'm thinking Newsom will sue to immediately

ENFORCE the Oregon judges ruling?

[BumRushDaShow]

7. I am hoping there isn't this idiotic "technicality" as a defense against a suit

of the troops "going to Oregon but NOT into Portland (city) " literally.

[bluestarone]

13. Yea, that good ol loophole thing.

Judges need to know that, you cannot leave any kind of a loophole these bastards could jump through!! Edit to add Oregon IS Oregon no matter where?

[BumRushDaShow]

16. Well the other obvious issue

is claiming "an emergency" and absconding with a state's NG, without permission, for Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

[in2herbs]

17. Sometimes its just too difficult to think as evil and corrupt as the regime and avoid the

loopholes. That's when the morality clause is supposed to kick in.

[LPBBEAR]

9. Playing fucking games again

So a judge in Oregon blocks the deployment of Oregon National Guard

so he goes to California

Eventually maybe a judge in California blocks California National Guard

so he goes to Idaho

Rinse and repeat

What a piece of shit.

10. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing going on in Portland today except the Portland Marathon.

It is a beautiful day here in the Portland area. My grandson is with some of his high school friends helping out at the marathon today. It is perfectly safe for him to be there. My biggest fear is that Trump's people will cause a crisis, and someone will get killed or injured. We had a low flying helicopter over our house yesterday. It was not a medical helicopter and was one we did not recognize. I am guessing it was some sort of a police helicopter. We actually live about 10 miles east of Portland near the Gorge.

[Bayard]

11. trump gets to whack two Dem states at one time

Oregon, because he is still sending troops there after the judge's order, and Calif because he's appropriating their troops.

He wins!

[Captain Zero]

22. The CA Guard Commander should be saying Fuck No

We are the CA Guard, not the Oregon Guard.
And if Oregon Guard can't go neither can we .

Who's the fuckstick at California Guard who won't stand up to this?

[Gore1FL]

18. Can they be armed wtih protest signs? nt

[in2herbs]

19. Are these states being awarded their attorney's fees when they succeed in court? nt

[BradBo]

20. The Consitutional Crisis is here. We will see if the SCOTUS is finally finished.

[travelingthrulife]

21. This is just the stupidest insurrection ever. They can't even gin up a protest. They

are using AI I suppose and feeding it to Dumb Donald. His brain is toast. He needs to be removed.

[Wiz Imp]

23. Both Newsom and Oregon's Attorney General have said they will sue over this.

I'm sure they will win. Trump isn't going to get away with this.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Sunday that he would sue the Trump administration after it federalized 300 California National Guard troops and deployed them to Oregon, just one day after a federal judge blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to deploy Oregon National Guard troops in Portland.

On Sunday, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield responded to the news of California National Guard troops arriving in his state by saying that his office is "quickly assessing our options and preparing to take legal action."
