"A federal judge in Oregon issued a new and broader order on Sunday night to halt President Donald Trump from deploying any National Guard troops - regardless of their state of origin - to Oregon, Illinois, or elsewhere, as Democratic governors resisting the president warned of a frightening escalation in his authoritarian tendencies."
""It seems to me that based on the conduct of the defendants and the now seeking National Guard from Texas to go to Oregon again, I see those as direct contravention of the order [...] issued yesterday," said Immergut, nominated to the federal bench by Trump during his first term."
"Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying National Guard forces-from any state or DC-to Oregon. The president can't keep playing whack-a-mole w/ different states' Guard units to get around court orders & the rule of law. pic.twitter.com/X8hhZBSFhx- Attorney General Dan Rayfield (@AGDanRayfield) October 6, 2025"
Oregon obtained a court order preventing the president from deploying National Guard troops from any state to Oregon, Illinois, or other jurisdictions. The ruling followed an earlier decision barring federalization of California Guard units and a subsequent mobilization of 400 Texas Guard troops authorized by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut described the Texas deployment as a contravention of the prior order. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield secured a temporary restraining order and characterized the president's tactics as attempts to evade court orders and the rule of law amid protests around an ICE facility in Portland.
