Oregon sues Trump administration over plans to send troops to Portland

Oregon and Portland argue the federal deployment violates laws including the Posse Comitatus Act and seek to block 200 federalized National Guard troops sent for 60 days.

  • The State of Oregon and the city of Portland have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and others to prevent the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, claiming the move is unlawful and violates the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.
  • Oregon Governor Tina Kotek stated there is no national security threat in Portland and criticized Trump for disregarding local governance, asserting that local officials can manage public safety without federal interference.
  • Oregon officials argue that Trump's announcement of troop deployment to protect federal facilities is unnecessary and based on outdated information about unrest in the city.
  • Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield expressed concerns that the federalization of National Guard troops is politically motivated and may increase tensions rather than enhance safety.
