Attorney General Rayfield and Governor Kotek say Oregon has no rebellion or unrest to justify President Trump’s federal order deploying 200 National Guard troops.
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced Sunday that the state has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration alleging that President Donald Trump unlawfully ordered the deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members for federal law enforcement duties.
The lawsuit, which was filed jointly by the State of Oregon and the City of Portland in U.S. District Court, challenges the legal basis of the federal order. It names President Trump, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and their respective departments as defendants.
In a statement, Rayfield said the deployment is not based on any legitimate threat but is instead “about the President flexing political muscle under the guise of law and order.”
Hahahahaha. ‘Unlawful’. I can’t breathe.
So, where do we accept this is full-blown fascist newspeak? Spoiler: like 8 years ago, before it was too late. And now it’s too late. Thanks to everyone who told me I was a hyperbolic alarmist. Enjoy your police state, idiots (and I’m including the protest and non-voters here), you did this.
Right?I wish they’d start saying impeachable too
