  • A federal judge has blocked the mobilization of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland and expanded that restraining order, while the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals set oral arguments for Thursday on the government's stay request.
  • Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek met Noem on arrival and wrote `Today, in my meeting with Secretary Noem, I reiterated again that there is no insurrection in Oregon`, while City of Portland officials said they were notified only the day she arrived.
