There was no official announcement from the #Trump admin that the #California #NationalGuard was being called up & sent to #Oregon, just as was the case when #Illinois’ governor made a similar announcement Saturday about #troops in his state being activated.
Newsom, a Democrat, said in a statement that CA personnel were on their way Sunday & called the deployment “a breathtaking abuse of the law & power.”
“The commander-in-chief is using the US #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 & #authoritarian conduct by the president of the #UnitedStates.”

US District Judge Karin Immergut, who was appointed by #Trump during his first term, issued the order pending further arguments in the suit. She said the relatively small protests the city has seen did not justify the use of federalized forces & allowing the deployment could harm #Oregon #state #sovereignty.
