Oregon Sues to Block Trump’s National Guard Deployment from Protecting Portland ICE Facilities
This is the new playbook for progressive leadership, an upside-down world where weakness is “compassion” and letting criminals run wild is “tolerance.” In their bizarre reality, the true enemy isn’t the anarchist throwing a brick through a window, but the strong leader willing to step in and restore peace. They would rather preside over rubble—and call it progress—than admit their policies are a catastrophic failure.
Oregon sued the Trump administration late Sunday seeking to block President Donald Trump’s order to deploy 200 National Guard troops to the city of Portland to protect federal buildings…
“There is no insurrection or threat to public safety that necessitates military intervention in Portland or any other city in our state.” She emphasized that deploying the National Guard on Oregon streets is “an abuse of power and a disservice to our communities and our service members.”
This is the astonishing justification from Oregon Governor Tina Kotek as her administration sues to block President Donald Trump from restoring order. Along with the state’s attorney general, who absurdly claims “Oregon communities are stable,” these officials have taken the truly unbelievable step of using the courts to stop the federal government from protecting its own property. You can’t make this stuff up.
“Stable communities”? Has Governor Kotek actually looked out her window lately? While she recites pleasant fictions, President Trump is responding to the grim reality on the ground. He didn’t deploy the National Guard on a whim; he acted to defend a city he rightly called “war-ravaged” and to protect federal ICE facilities that are, in his words, “under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.” This isn’t federal overreach. It’s a necessary response to a state-level abdication of duty.
The President’s order was a direct answer to the lawlessness that local officials have allowed to fester for years. Attorney General Pam Bondi has even been forced to activate Joint Terrorism Task Forces to investigate these radical groups. Yet, in the face of this clear and present threat, Oregon’s leaders have the audacity to claim there is “no threat to public safety.” It begs the question: Whose safety are they actually concerned with? It certainly isn’t the law-abiding citizens or the federal officers in the line of fire.
