Overview
- U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut expanded her order to bar the transfer, federalization, or deployment of any state's National Guard into Oregon after the White House moved to use out‑of‑state units.
- The Pentagon said about 200 federalized California Guard members were reassigned toward Portland; Oregon officials reported roughly 100 had arrived with additional personnel en route before the expanded injunction.
- President Trump authorized 300 Guard members for Chicago over state objections, and the Defense Department moved to activate up to 400 Texas Guard troops for possible deployments including Oregon and Illinois.
- Oregon, the City of Portland, and California sought an amended restraining order, arguing there is no insurrection or large‑scale violence, as the administration signaled it would appeal the judge’s orders.
- The legal clash centers on federal power to federalize and reassign state Guard units versus state sovereignty and Posse Comitatus limits, with the judge finding Portland protests too limited to justify military use.
