How is this order to deploy troops to Portland legal? [View all]

Former Rep. Max Rose (D) just said that he tried to play it straight when the trump administration was deploying the national guard and commented on the role of the governor and the president. But here, deploying troops against the will of the governor? He says this is not a legal order.

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like this issue is not receiving the attention it deserves. I'm afraid that the administration's efforts to normalize this BS is working. Where is the outrage? It is very easy to prove that there is no emergency in Portland.
