Tear Gas at Portland ICE as Judge Weighs Oregon Bid to Block Trump’s Guard Deployment

The court is poised to decide whether Trump’s move to federalize Oregon’s Guard meets the law’s threshold.

The site has been the target of frequent protests as federal law enforcement agents continue Operation Midway Blitz in the Chicago area, an operation designed to apprehend and deport undocumented immigrants living in the area.

Overview

  • About 400 people marched to Portland’s ICE facility on Saturday, where federal agents deployed tear gas and arrested at least four protesters, according to The Oregonian.
  • Oregon and the city of Portland asked for a temporary restraining order to halt the federalization, and Judge Karin J. Immergut heard arguments Friday with a ruling expected Saturday.
  • During the hearing, a DOJ attorney said the president’s Truth Social posts were the primary basis for determining Guard call-up authority, a rationale the plaintiffs challenged as disconnected from recent conditions.
  • State officials said no federalized Oregon National Guard troops were on the ground as of Saturday morning, though the Oregon Military Department said arrivals could occur sometime this weekend.
  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom said some California National Guard members are being sent to Portland to help with training and indicated he may sue depending on their assignments.
