Oregon Sues Trump's Admin for Sending National Guard to Portland



Portland civil unrest has continued unabated, especially after the attempt of the Trump administration to send federal troupe was blocked by the Federal Court.

To save situation still, President Trump has ordered 200 National Guard troops into Portland, Oregon, to protect federal facilities after weeks of unrest. 

The 60-day deployment faces fierce pushback, with Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filing a federal lawsuit, citing violations of the Posse Comitatus Act. 

Governor Tina Kotek also argues the move escalates tensions and undermines state authority.

Meanwhile, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is requesting 1,000 National Guard troops to combat rising crime in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport, citing local police shortages.

Chaos continued to erupt in Portland as federal agents were captured in a dramatic video arresting multiple protesters and deploying tear gas late Sunday — minutes after a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard to the city.

In the footage, dozens of federal personnel in tactical gear, identified by markings from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Border Patrol, are seen detaining protesters amid thick clouds of gas.

The Pentagon confirmed to Fox News Digital on Monday that "while federalized Oregon National Guard members remain under T10 status, there are no Oregon National Guard members on mission in or around the Portland area."

A White House spokesperson also told Fox News Digital on Monday that President Donald Trump had ordered federal action to address the city’s "violent riots," which sparked following Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The administration added that they expect the Supreme Court to overturn the restraining order preventing the deployment of additional troops.
