US EditionPentagon says it is deploying California National Guard to Portland
President Trump ordered 300 federalized California National Guard troops to Portland to protect federal property amid protests, despite legal challenges from Oregon and California officials.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump sent 200 federalized California National Guard members to Portland, Oregon to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and protect federal property.
- After the judge's Sunday ruling, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a temporary restraining order blocking Oregon National Guard mobilization, which remains until October 19, the court said.
- Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said 101 California National Guard members arrived Saturday night by plane, and California Governor Gavin Newsom said about 300 guard members could be deployed.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom announced California joined Oregon's lawsuit seeking a second temporary restraining order, while Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said, `This action circumvents the court's decision and threatens to inflame a community that has remained peaceful.`
- The Pentagon's orders included as many as 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with 300 troops authorized for Chicago, amid broader deployments to 10 cities earlier this year.
