Overview
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered 200 Oregon National Guard members into federal service for 60 days to perform federal functions, including protecting ICE facilities.
- Oregon and the City of Portland filed a federal complaint seeking an injunction that argues the Title 10 order violates the Posse Comitatus Act and the Tenth Amendment.
- President Trump posted that he directed the Pentagon to send “all necessary Troops” to protect Portland ICE sites and authorized “Full Force, if necessary.”
- Protests continued outside Portland’s ICE facility with arrests reported locally, while DHS said 11 people were arrested near a Chicago-area ICE site over the weekend.
- The Portland action comes as courts weigh similar deployments, including a district court ruling against the Los Angeles order that was stayed on appeal, and reports indicate Memphis could see troops this week.
