“Oregon and Portland are suing President Trump in an effort to block his move to deploy National Guard troops to the state’s largest city. The lawsuit that was filed on Sunday noted that following Trump’s directive, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had signed a memorandum ‘calling 200 members of the Oregon National Guard into federal service for a period of 60 days’ — which the suit called ‘patently unlawful.’ Trump authorized troops in Portland on Saturday in an effort to quash protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) [gang lair] in the Democrat-led city that began in early June, saying they could use ‘Full Force’ if necessary.” (09/29/25)
