Overview

• The Oregon Department of Justice and the City of Portland filed a federal lawsuit to stop the Pentagon from placing about 200 Oregon National Guard members under federal control for duties in Portland.
• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth notified Gov. Tina Kotek that Guard members were being called into federal service for 60 days to protect federal property where protests are occurring or likely to occur.
• President Trump wrote on Truth Social that he directed officials to provide “all necessary Troops” to protect ICE sites in “war ravaged Portland” and said he was authorizing “Full Force, if necessary.”
• Oregon’s filing cites the Posse Comitatus Act and constitutional limits, pointing to a recent federal ruling against a similar Los Angeles deployment that the administration is appealing.
• Protests outside Portland’s ICE facility continued at modest size, with police reporting two arrests on Sunday night, as Gov. Kotek and Mayor Keith Wilson reiterated there is no insurrection or need for military troops.
