Overview

• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo federalizing 200 Oregon National Guard members for 60 days after President Trump authorized "all necessary Troops" and "Full Force, if necessary."
• Oregon and the city of Portland filed a federal lawsuit and an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order, with the case assigned to U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon and a hearing expected this week.
• Guard mobilization was reported to be underway, but there was no confirmed on-the-ground deployment at the Portland ICE site as of Monday.
• State and city officials argue the move violates the Posse Comitatus Act and the Tenth Amendment, pointing to a recent California ruling restricting similar deployments, which is now on appeal.
• Officials cite contrasting assessments of the security situation, as Oregon leaders describe small, manageable protests with no recent local arrests, while federal authorities highlight 26 federal cases tied to the ICE facility to justify the action.
