- Governor Tina Kotek of Oregon reported receiving no official notification regarding the troop deployment, while White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson confirmed the decision to send guardsmen amid unrest.
- The Justice Department indicated plans to appeal the ruling, arguing that the President has the authority to deploy National Guard forces for domestic unrest.
