California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he's suing President Donald Trump, claiming the commander in chief deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Oregon.
“After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now,” Newsom said in a post on X on Oct. 5, adding “We are taking this fight back to court.”
Newsom’s comments come after a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump from deploying 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland on Oct. 4. The decision was made in response to a Sept. 28 lawsuit from Democratic Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield’s office.
The lawsuit was filed a day after Trump said he would send troops to Portland to protect federal immigration facilities from “domestic terrorists” amid protests outside an ICE field office in the area.
