California governor says president ‘attacking rule of law’ as Trump-appointed judge rules twice to stop national guard from any state being used in Oregon
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any national guard units to Oregon a few hours after the California governor, Gavin Newsom, announced he would sue the president over the planned deployment of his state’s troops.
Both states sought the temporary restraining order after the president sent guard members from California to Oregon earlier in the day. On Saturday, the same judge temporarily blocked the administration from deploying Oregon’s national guard troops to Portland.
The ruling by US District Judge Karin Immergut said there was no evidence that recent protests necessitated the presence of national guard troops, no matter where they came from. Immergut asked a Trump administration lawyer during a hearing on Sunday night: “How could bringing in federalised national guard from California not be in direct contravention of the [decision] I issued yesterday?”
I’m so old I remember when the right wing nutters of this country lost their absolute shit at the thought that the military was conducting exercises on US soil and concocted conspiracy after conspiracy around it. Ten years later now and they’re fucking cheerleading it.
