A federal judge on Sunday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from sending any National Guard troops to Portland. The ruling comes after the Trump administration moved to send the California National Guard to Portland after the judge earlier denied sending Oregon National Guard troops.
What was unlawful with the Oregon National Guard is unlawful with the California National Guard, Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a news conference before the ruling. The judges order was not some minor procedural point for the president to work around like my 14-year-old does when he doesnt like my answers.
The state amended its original complaint against calling up the Oregon National Guard in federal district court and filed for a second temporary restraining order to pause the presidents actions.
In response to the amended complaint, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement, The facts havent changed: President Trump exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement.
US District Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order Saturday blocking President Donald Trump from sending the Oregon National Guard to Portland, the states largest city, ruling that city and state officials are likely to succeed on their claim that the President exceeded his constitutional authority and violated the Tenth Amendment in ordering the deployment.
