Defense Secretary PT Hegaseth wrote in a memorandum that was submitted to the court that 400 Texas National Guard personnel were being activated for Oregon, Illinois and possibly for deployment elsewhere.
Texas village. Greg Abbott said in a post on Sunday night that he had authorized the call-up. “You can either apply security for federal employees or be out of the way and allow the Texas guard to do it,” he wrote.
The Governor of Illinois came to the incidents of Oregon a day after a similar announcement about the active soldiers in their state.
Kotek said that the latest step by federal officials is an attempt to sideline Saturday’s court verdict, in which the deployment of Oregon’s guard members has been blocked.
“The facts on the ground in Oregon have not changed,” Kotek said during a news conference on Sunday. “There is no need for military intervention in Oregon. There is no rebellion in Portland, no threat to national security.”
Oregon and California go back to court
Oregon Attorney General Dan Refield said his state is demanding a revised temporary preventive order against the deployment of any national guard soldiers, along with the city of Portland and California.
“What was illegal yesterday is illegal today,” said Refield. “The judge’s order was not some minor procedural point to work for the President, such as my 14 -year -old child when he doesn’t like my reply.”
Refield said that Oregan “There will be no party for the President’s effort to normalize the use of the United States army in our American cities.”
A Democrat, Newsom, said in a statement that California personnel were on their way on Sunday and called the deployment “a breathtaking misuse of law and power”. He said that these soldiers were “federal” and in response to unrest in Los Angeles, the President’s control was placed on their objections months ago.
“Commander-in-Chief is using the US Army as a political weapon against American citizens,” Newsom said.
California joined the case of Oregon, in which the deployment of National Guard personnel of Trump administration was challenged as an illegal and unnecessary overruch in Portland.
Three hundred California National Guard personnel posted in Southern California were already made federal till the early November, and the leaders of the California military department had learned that all those 300 would be “adjacently deployed in Portland,” according to the complaint filed on Sunday.
On Sunday, the court stated that Trump deployed National Guard soldiers of California at Los Angeles in June to implement the Immigration Act and said in the court on Sunday that he had no legal basis to re -prepare Oregon for another purpose.
“They can take members of the federal National Guard by changing their missions and sending them to another state,” said the filing.
The prosecution notes that the President has the right to deploy National Guard soldiers under very specific circumstances: to cancel an attack, suppress a rebellion or implement federal laws.
“Portland has no rebellion,” the filing said.
In filing in the respective court, a lawyer from the California military department said that the US Army Northern Command on Sunday advised the department that an order would be issued that 300 guard personnel would be made federal by the end of January.
Protests are limited to a city block
American immigration and customs enforcement building in Portland has recently been the site of night protests. The federal judge, appointed by a Trump in Oregon, on Saturday temporarily blocked the plan of the Trump Administration to deploy Oregon National Guard in Portland to protect the federal property amidst protests called Trump called “War-Opuse”.
Oregon officials and residents of Portland equally stated that the details were frightening. Kotek stated that the protest was relatively small and was localized for just one block of the city of 650,000 inhabitants.
During his first term, US District Judge Karin Emergut, appointed by Trump, pending further arguments in the case brought by the state and the city. He said that relatively small protests did not justify the use of federal forces and allowing deployment could cause damage to Oregon’s state sovereignty.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the President is “especially targeting cities that bend the Democratic” or they have leaders and residents who speak against the misuse of the administration’s power.
Bonta said during the news conference on Sunday evening, “This is our national guard, a national guard of California, not Trump’s royal guard, as he thinks.” “Trump cannot use our military soldiers as their private police force.”
Portland mayor Keith Wilson said on Sunday that he saw federal agents, describing the force as an inappropriate use of force and indiscriminately sprayed pepper sprays and affected the sages during a protest outside the ice convenience.
“This is an aggressive approach that is trying to provoke the situation that has been otherwise peaceful,” Wilson said.
Wilson said that Portland has warned the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice for the functions of agents.
Soldiers were also deployed in Illinois
Trump features both Portland and Chicago as the city is prevalent with crime and unrest. Since the beginning of his second term, he has sent or talked about sending soldiers to 10 cities.
Trump on Saturday authorized the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard soldiers to protect the property in Chicago and to protect the property.
Illinois village. JB Pritzkar’s office stated that the situation in Chicago “does not require the use of the army and as a result, the Governor opposes the deployment of the National Guard under any circumstances.” His office said that Pritzker received no calls about deployment from federal officials.
