Overview

• A federal judge’s order blocking the Trump administration from federalizing Oregon’s National Guard remains in place as the White House appeals to the Ninth Circuit.
• During a CNN interview, Stephen Miller said the president has “plenary authority” under Title 10, then fell silent before the network cut to a break it called a technical issue, and the clip spread widely online.
• After returning, Miller said the administration would abide by the ruling insofar as it covers the parties but asserted the president’s authority under Title 10 and pointed to other federal options.
• Title 10 allows calling the Guard into federal service only in cases such as invasion, rebellion, or when regular forces cannot execute U.S. laws, and recent district‑court rulings found those conditions unmet.
• Coverage notes Trump has floated the Insurrection Act as an alternative, and Newsweek reports the Ninth Circuit will hear the administration’s appeal on Thursday.
