Newsom says he will sue Trump for sending California National Guard to Oregon
President Trump federalized 300 Illinois National Guard troops amid protests and violent incidents in Chicago, while a federal judge blocked a similar deployment in Oregon.
- President Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard members to Portland, Oregon, following a federal judge's order blocking Oregon's own National Guard deployment, according to California Governor Gavin Newsom.
- Newsom plans to sue Trump, calling the deployment a 'breathtaking abuse of law and power' and accusing the president of using military forces as political tools.
- The deployment follows Trump's claims of unrest in Portland, which local officials have disputed as exaggerated, stating that recent protests do not justify military intervention.
- Trump's actions demonstrate a willingness to use military force domestically, as evident by other recent interventions in U.S. cities, raising concerns among Democratic leaders.
