Oregon sues Trump administration over plans to send troops to Portland

Oregon and Portland challenge the Trump administration's order to deploy 200 National Guard troops, citing constitutional overreach and state sovereignty concerns.

  • Oregon filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration over the deployment of 200 National Guard members to Portland, which will cost at least $3.8 million in federal funding according to Gibson from the Oregon Military Department.
  • Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield stated that sending troops to guard a single building is not normal and emphasized that Oregon has sufficient resources to manage public safety without federal intervention.
  • The lawsuit claims that the deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act, which prevents military enforcement of domestic law, and infringes on state power as guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment.
  • President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment, stating troops are needed to protect federal property from 'domestic terrorists.
