Governor Newsom to Sue, on Trump’s “breathtaking abuse of power” with Guard Deployment to Oregon

Sacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement in response to the Trump Administration deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Portland, Oregon, after a federal district court blocked the attempted federalization of Oregon’s National Guard:

In response to a federal court order that blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, President Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now. This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power. The Trump Administration is unapologetically attacking the rule of law itself and putting into action their dangerous words — ignoring court orders and treating judges, even those appointed by the President himself, as political opponents.

This isn’t about public safety, it’s about power. The commander-in-chief is using the U.S. military as a political weapon against American citizens. 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.

Governor Gavin Newsom

Trump illegally sends California troops to Oregon
Despite a federal court order finding no legal basis to deploy state National Guard troops to the streets of Portland and ordering that control of the Oregon National Guard be returned to state command, the Trump Administration is now sending 300 federally controlled members of the California National Guard to Portland to take their place. The troops had originally been federalized months ago in response to unrest in Los Angeles — conditions that never necessitated their deployment in the first place, and have long since subsided anyway.

Courts rebuke Trump’s lawlessness
In its ruling yesterday, the federal judge appointed by President Trump rejected the Trump Administration’s justification for deploying federalized troops, writing in its order:

“This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power — to the detriment of this nation.”

The court found that the President’s own statements regarding the deployment of federalized National Guard were not “conceived in good faith” and were “simply untethered to the facts.”

    Bored ICE agents burst out of building, charge protestors peacefully protesting and assaulted them.

    This is wholly illegal, and escalates ICE attacks on peaceful protestors, after a judge ordered no Nat Guards sent to Portland.

    An elderly couple says they were charged and knocked down by federal agents as they peacefully protested on Saturday in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland, just blocks from their home.

    Laurie Eckman, 84, said she and her husband Richard Eckman, also 84 and a Vietnam war veteran, were rushed by federal officers “for no apparent reason.” She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground.

    In polls maga, the don and crew is sinking fast.
    The people remember how it was with Biden.
    Now maga, the don has screwed up most everything,
    winning? quite the opposite.
    Get out of the fox bubble, and hear even maga heads say what is wrong with these people?
    Polls , outside of Fox.
    History only 8 months ago look at the economy , inflation, employment, and now.

    You have to be in a blind cult to deny the facts, numbers count.

    On America’s security, foreign and domestic, the maga approach is a disaster.

    It appears maga is Putin friendly , anti US allies .
    (NATO)

    We know that the don is up to his neck in debt to the Russian Oligarchs. They bailed him out, now his repayment.

    All factual look it up public knowledge, not BS.

    The reich wing is soaked in violence all coming from the don and stephan miller.
    They are openly pushing violence and hate.

    Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein was walking her dogs on the beach in Edisto Island, S.C., about an hour south of Charleston, when the fire began, according to officials. Her husband, former state Sen. Arnold Goodstein, their son, Arnold Goodstein III, and one other occupant were forced to jump from the burning building from an elevated first floor to escape the blaze, officials said.

    The three occupants were rescued by kayak from the home’s backyard due to the area’s marshy terrain, Colleton County Fire-Rescue told ABC News. One occupant was airlifted to Medical University of South Carolina hospital in Charleston and the other two were taken there via ground transportation, according to Colleton County Fire-Rescue.

    Last month, Goodstein blocked the South Carolina Election Commission from providing the Department of Justice with millions of voter files that included personal names, addresses, driver’s license numbers and social security numbers, according to court documents.

    According to a report by The Guardian, the image was a composite of two unrelated photos taken in South America. One showed riot police with shields labeled “Policia,” the Spanish and Portuguese word for police, and originated from a 2008 Getty Images photo believed to be from Ecuador. The other image, showing red smoke and a crowd, was taken by a Brazilian photographer in 2017 and published on the free image site Pexels.
