Overview

  • The Defense Department has federalized roughly 200 Oregon National Guard members under Title 10 to protect federal personnel and property, including an ICE facility in Portland.
  • Guard members began reporting Wednesday for legal briefings and civil-disturbance training, and officials say street deployment will wait until vetting and instruction are complete, possibly next week.
  • President Trump asserted the Guard was already in place, but local officials and media said no troops were posted at the ICE site as preparations continued.
  • Oregon and the city of Portland have filed suit challenging the federalization and are seeking a temporary restraining order, with a hearing scheduled for Friday.
  • Once mobilized, the troops fall under U.S. Northern Command, and costs are estimated at a minimum of $3.8 million, with the Oregon Military Department cautioning the total could reach about $10 million.
