SACRAMENTO\u00a0<\/span>\u2013\u00a0In a major setback to the Trump Administration and victory for the rule of law, a federal judge blocked the federal government\u2019s unlawful attempt to deploy 300 California National Guard soldiers to Portland \u2013 an effort the judge called an improper effort to \u201ccircumvent\u201d her ruling yesterday that Oregon National Guard members could not be federalized and deployed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The court granted the state\u2019s request for a temporary restraining order, which halts any federalization, relocation or deployment of any guardsmembers to Oregon from any state.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe rule of law has prevailed \u2013 and California\u2019s National Guard will soon be heading home. This ruling is more than a legal victory, it\u2019s a victory for American democracy itself. Donald Trump tried to turn our soldiers into instruments of his political will. While our fight continues, tonight the rule of law said \u2018hell no\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe Trump Administration\u2019s flagrant disregard for the courts was on full display when it sought to circumvent Judge Immergut\u2019s order blocking the federalization of the Oregon National Guard by redeploying troops from Los Angeles to Portland,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>said\u00a0Attorney General Rob Bonta<\/strong>. \u201cThis disrespect for the rule of law cannot stand\u2014and I\u2019m glad the court agreed. The President\u2019s move to deploy the National Guard of one state over the objections of a Governor to another state over the objections of a second is well outside of the norms or practices of any President in recent history. But this President is determined to take as much power as the courts will give him. This fight isn\u2019t over, but today\u2019s rebuke of the President\u2019s illegal actions is a step in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Governor Newsom announced the\u00a0<\/span>state\u2019s intention to sue the Trump Administration<\/a>\u00a0after the White House illegally sought to deploy 300 California National Guard personnel into Portland, Oregon, the day after a federal district court blocked the attempted federalization of Oregon\u2019s National Guard. California joined Oregon\u2019s suit in the Oregon federal court. See the amended complaint here, and the states\u2019 joint motion for a temporary restraining order here.<\/p>\n

Trump illegally sends California troops to Oregon<\/span><\/h2>\n

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 tried to send 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 unfounded claims that unrest in Los Angeles \u2014 conditions that never necessitated their deployment in the first place, and have long since subsided anyway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Courts rebuke Trump\u2019s lawlessness<\/span><\/h2>\n

In her ruling yesterday, the federal judge appointed by President Trump rejected the Trump Administration\u2019s justification for deploying federalized troops, writing in her order:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis 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 \u2014 to the detriment of this nation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The court found that the President\u2019s own statements regarding the deployment of federalized National Guard were not \u201cconceived in good faith\u201d and were \u201csimply untethered to the facts.\u201d<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
