US EditionOregon sues Trump administration over plans to send troops to Portland
Oregon and Portland argue deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act and 10th Amendment, challenging claims of unrest and asserting local officials can manage public safety, officials said.
- The State of Oregon and the city of Portland have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and other officials to block the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, claiming the federal government lacks authority to do so.
- Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield stated that the deployment violates the Tenth Amendment, emphasizing that public safety powers reside with the states, not the federal government.
- Oregon officials, including Governor Tina Kotek, argue there is no current safety threat in Portland and have labeled Trump's characterization of the city as 'war ravaged' as misleading.
- The Pentagon has declined to comment on the lawsuit, while a White House spokesperson has defended Trump's actions as lawful and necessary for protecting federal assets in Portland amid ongoing protests.
