From the New York Post: President Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon defying a federal order blocking the move – as Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed to sue in response.
“After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon,” Newson said in a post on X, later calling the order “un-American.”
“They are on their way there now. We are taking this fight back to court. The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.”
Newsom’s fiery threat comes hours after a federal judge temporarily halted the Trump administration from sending 200 Oregon National Guard troops to the “war ravaged” city that has been under siege by anti-ICE agitators for more than 100 straight days.

Meanwhile, the people running Newsom’s Press Office X account are going ballistic, blasting out all-caps messages in rapid-fire.
RED ALERT: Trump is ILLEGALLY sending 300 California Guard members to Portland — flouting the law, and treating judges as enemies. This comes AFTER a Trump-appointed judge rejected the White House’s justification for deploying federal troops.
SPEAK OUT!
