California governor says president ‘attacking rule of law’ as Trump-appointed judge rules twice to stop national guard from any state being used in Oregon
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any national guard units to Oregon a few hours after the California governor, Gavin Newsom, announced he would sue the president over the planned deployment of his state’s troops.
Both states sought the temporary restraining order after the president sent guard members from California to Oregon earlier in the day. On Saturday, the same judge temporarily blocked the administration from deploying Oregon’s national guard troops to Portland.
The ruling by US District Judge Karin Immergut said there was no evidence that recent protests necessitated the presence of national guard troops, no matter where they came from. Immergut asked a Trump administration lawyer during a hearing on Sunday night: “How could bringing in federalised national guard from California not be in direct contravention of the [decision] I issued yesterday?”
Trump is leaving California defenseless.
Trump doesn’t care about California.
This also happened in China. You let the military with no local bonds attack the populace
Water is wet. Trump only cares about Trump.
Sure he cares. He’s constantly trying to sabotage us. He released a shitload of water from dams earlier this year, jeopardizing farmers both short, and long term.
Yes, they blamed Biden for that too.
Apparently many farmers are idiots.
I prefer “simple folk.” You have to sit on a tractor and go 2 MPH all day in a dirt field. I can’t do it.
I’m so old I remember when the right wing nutters of this country lost their absolute shit at the thought that the military was conducting exercises on US soil and concocted conspiracy after conspiracy around it. Ten years later now and they’re fucking cheerleading it.

“A survey of registered Republicans by Public Policy Polling in May 2015,[40] found that 32% thought that “the Government is trying to take over Texas”, and that half of all Tea Party supporters were concerned about an imminent Texas invasion.”
"On April 28, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor the operation, writing: “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know [that] their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed”, and requesting “regular updates on the progress and safety of the Operation”.[37][43]
“We aren’t propagandized. No way.” - every Propagandized Person when logically challenged by their Own propagandizion with reasonable arguments.
And as soon as a judge sides with California I’m sure Louisiana or Texas will volunteer their own Guard to go to Portland. Which will somehow find the right judge and be able to proceed.
They didn’t wait for the judge.

BUT the judge behind blocking the deployment of the Oregon National Guard has issued another TRO. So the situation is still boiling along.
Why? The supreme court gave Trump a get out of jail free card for official duties
Performing an illegal act because of orders doesnt make you immune from the charges. So states may be able to arrest members breaking the law and the federal government would have no say about it because the federal government ruled their actions illegal
I’m sorry, but are the generals in the National Guard not held responsible to only follow legal orders. Who is the commanding officer that oversees the implementation of Trump’s order?
EDIT: Here’s a link to the California national guard leadership page with the Major Generals in charge. I think we need to start appealing to these major generals to follow the law and NOT follow illegal orders by Trump.
The illegal orders thing is a catch 22. It’s taught to everyone, but it’s also taught there aren’t illegal orders.
He should sue The Annoying Orange for 1 BAZILLION DOLLARS.
