Oregon Files Suit After Hegseth Orders 200 National Guard Troops Federalized to Protect ICE Agents and Facilities in Antifa Stronghold State | The Gateway Pundit | by Kristinn Taylor

In a significant move that has stirred controversy, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced on Sunday the deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard troops under federal authority to safeguard ICE agents and facilities. This particular ICE facility in Portland, historically under siege by violent protests attributed to militant Antifa groups throughout the summer, has prompted state and local officials to remain notably reticent regarding adequate protection for both the facility and the beleaguered citizens of the area.

In a rapid legal response, Oregon’s Attorney General has swiftly filed a lawsuit aimed at obstructing this federalization of the National Guard troops.

The dispatched Oregon National Guard members will fall under Northern Command’s oversight for an effective period of sixty days.

This directive from Hegseth comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s announcement the day prior, sanctioning the military presence to safeguard the ICE facility against ongoing unrest.

Details of Hegseth’s orders were disclosed by Washington Post reporter Dan Lamothe:

According to a recent memo, @PeteHegseth has stated that 200 members of the Oregon National Guard will be “called into federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days.”

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield (D) has been quick to announce legal action to stop the federal control over the National Guard troops.

According to an excerpt from a report by The Oregonian regarding the lawsuit:

“The facts cannot justify this overreach,” asserts the 41-page lawsuit filed by the State of Oregon and the City of Portland against the Trump administration.

The suit highlights that protests outside the Portland ICE facility have been minimal in recent weeks, usually gathering fewer than 30 participants.

“The heavy-handed deployment of troops by the defendants risks escalating tensions and generating further unrest,” the suit maintains.

This lawsuit was filed in federal court in Portland, marking yet another legal challenge to Trump’s initiative to send troops to American cities and requesting a judicial order to prevent troop deployment to Oregon.

The Governor received notification via email at 9:32 a.m. on Sunday indicating that Trump invoked Title 10 for the National Guard’s deployment to Portland under the purview of the Department of War.

The Attorney General’s office acted promptly, intending to file a temporary restraining order to halt the troops’ impending arrival.

A copy of the lawsuit was shared by Politico reporter Kyle Cheney (accessible here)

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) strongly criticized President Trump’s actions: “Donald Trump is unlawfully commandeering Oregon’s National Guard for a federal occupation that Oregonians neither want nor need. Elected officials in Oregon are actively opposing this to safeguard our communities.”

On Saturday, Oregon’s Governor Tina Kotek (D) expressed her stark opposition to Trump’s decision to federalize the Guard troops:

This situation finds Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold, in a precarious position, navigating the dividing lines between state mandates and federal directives. Gronewold has been present at the press conference alongside Kotek and other Democratic leaders, including Portland’s Mayor Keith Wilson.

Yet in Portland, the sentiment is not entirely favorable to federal interventions. An ICE supporter circulated a video showcase from the vicinity of the Portland ICE facility, highlighting military helicopters and drones overhead, commenting, “It’s unfortunate it has come to this, but after months of nighttime riots by ANTIFA, it seems someone finally decided to address the issue!”

Moreover, Andy Ngo, a senior editor at Post Millennial, shared a graphic from Antifa calling for a demonstration at the Portland ICE facility on Sunday afternoon.
