Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield on Sunday said he is “preparing to take legal action” against President Trump for sending California National Guard troops to the Beaver State.
“We are quickly assessing our options and preparing to take legal action. We’ll continue to share updates as we have them,” Rayfield said in a post on the social platform X Sunday afternoon.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said earlier Sunday that the president was “deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon,” adding that the troops “are on their way there now.”
“We are taking this fight back to court. The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States,” Newsom added in an X post.
In a statement obtained by The Hill’s sister network NewsNation, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the president “exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement.”
“For once, Gavin Newscum should stand on the side of law-abiding citizens instead of violent criminals destroying Portland and cities across the country,” Jackson said in her statement.
On Saturday, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s deployment of hundreds of National Guard members to Portland. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut granted Oregon and Portland officials’ temporary restraining ask, halting implementation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s memo that approved federalizing troops over Oregon’s objection.
“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law,” the Trump-appointed judge wrote.
