CA Gov. Newsom to Sue Trump Over National Guard Deployment to Oregon; Trump-Appointed Judge Grants TRO to Oregon Gov. Kotek.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Sunday that the Trump administration is deploying 300 of his state’s National Guard troops to Portland, Ore., and he vowed he would sue over the move.
On Saturday, a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration’s deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to the state’s largest city. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, granted state and local officials a temporary restraining order against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s authorization to federalize the Oregon guard troops.
“This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power,” Newsom said in a release. “The Trump Administration is unapologetically attacking the rule of the law itself and putting into action their dangerous words — ignoring court orders and treating judges, even those appointed by the President himself, as political opponents.”

Trump seems to think there's some Antifa uprising in Portland after watching years-old videos.
Watch out, South Carolina. He might overhear someone talking about a protest and explosions at Fort Sumter, S.C. and might federalize the Texas National Guard to deal with the problem.
