On Friday, October 24, US District Judge Karin Immergut said she'll issue a decision no later than Monday on whether to lift a temporary restraining order barring out-of-state National Guard troops from deploying to Oregon. A restraining order remains in effect until Wednesday, but attorneys for the federal government asked for the order to be lifted immediately.

Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement that California personnel were on their way Sunday and called the deployment "a breathtaking abuse of the law and power." "The commander-in-chief is using the U.S. military as a political weapon against American citizens," Newsom said in the statement. "We will take this fight to court, but the public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the president of the United States."
