California Governor: I will sue Trump to send the National Guard to Oregon news


California governor, Gavin Newsum, announced his intention to file a lawsuit against the administration of US President Donald Trump, against the background of the deployment of 300 members of the state’s National Guard in Oregon, in a move described as “a flagrant violation of law and power.”

“After a federal court prevented his attempt to add the federal character to the National Guard in Oregon, Donald Trump sends 300 members of the National Guard of California to Oregon … they are on their way there now,” Newsum said in a post on the X platform.

This comes after a federal judge issued a temporary restriction on Saturday evening that prevents Trump from deploying 200 members of the National Guard in Portland, Oregon, at least until October 18, noting that there is not enough evidence that recent protests call for this intervention.

In a separate statementNewsum description -which It belongs to the Democratic Party- The step as “an amazing abuse of law and power,” adding that the Trump administration “attacks the rule of law itself in starkly.”

The ruler explained that Trump had placed 300 California soldiers under federal control months ago to confront the protests in the city of Los Angeles, stressing that the circumstances at the time did not require this measure, and that the conditions had calmed down since then.

Scenes of protests were documented in front of the Immigration Department in Portland, Oregon, refusing to send the National Guard to the city.

President Trump gave orders to deploy the National Guard soldiers in Portland on September 28, considering that this is necessary to combat what he describes as “crime and protests against migration administration.”

Last week, the authorities of the US state of Oregon filed a lawsuit calling for the suspension of the deployment of soldiers from the National Guard in the northern city of Portland, after President Donald Trump ordered the sending of forces there.

The lawsuit is challenged in the decision to transfer 200 US National Guard soldiers in the state into a federal authority, on the pretext that their use of the civil law enforcement may violate the law.

For his part, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said President Trump “ordered the sending of 400 members of the National Guard forces in Texas to the states of Illinois, Oregon and other sites.”

Pritzker, in a post on social media, called on the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, to “withdraw any support for this decision immediately and refrain from coordination on it.”

“War areas”

Press reports reported that the American administration Described yesterday Sunday The city of Chicago as a “war zone”, in an effort to justify the sending of the National Guard to it.

Internal Security Security Minister Christie Naim gave “Fox News” bitDrives attacked during it The mayor of Chicago Branden Johnson, who for his part, was dedicated to this decision, saying that it “violates the provisions of the constitution.”

These developments are an extension of previous tensions, which reached their climax during last summer protests in Los Angeles, where Trump deployed thousands of National Guard forces and hundreds of naval infantry elements, despite the interception of the local authorities.

Trump described New June last June as “incompetent”, after the protests expanded in Los Angeles, some of which were characterized by violence after raids against immigrants. At the time, he pledged to impose “law and order”, in a rare spread of the National Guard, despite the refusal of the state governor.
