Oregon President Donald Trump’s plans to deploy the National Guard against Portland’s city, and claim that the proposed 60 -day activation is naturally illegal.
According to OPB. Dot Organ, the Trump administration remanded at least 200 members of the Oregon National Guard on Sunday for the federal service. In a memo sent to the State Government Tina Kotak, the US Department of Defense said the guard would be used to protect federal property “where there is a protest or (()).”
Hours later, the state indicated that it would not accept the orders of the president without any resistance.
The litigation alleges that Trump does not have the authority to make the national guard unilaterally and freely “federation”. California is currently sucking a similar claim against the administration, which has deployed troops to Los Angeles during the anti -anti -imposed anti -immigrant protest.
Oregon’s communities are stable, and our local officials are clear: we have the ability to manage public safety without federal intervention. “
Rayfield claims that despite the authentic and frightening tone of Trump’s statements, the dynamic national guard personnel will have no mission beyond the protection of a federal facility.
“It is not normal to send 200 National Guards to troops to protect a single building,” he said.
“If you are concerned about safety in your home, you will make some calls and fill the spaces – no calls in an army,” Ray Field added. “What we are seeing is not about the safety of the people, it is about the president to pursue the media at the expense of our community and make the political muscles flexible under the guise of law and order.”
Trump’s own words are rare to contradict the ray field.
On Saturday, Trump occupied social media to tell his supporters that he had instructed the former Fox News anchor and the current US Secretary of Defense Pat Hegast to “send all the necessary soldiers to the destruction of the destructive portland, and to send them to any of the terrorists.”
The state and local officials, though, insist that there is no emergency in Portland or in the state.
“When yesterday and I spoke to yesterday, I told him in a very simple language that despite, and on the contrary, with all the evidence, he chose to ignore Oregon’s ability to protect and govern himself.”
Kotak noted that while protests have been held outside a federal city in the Portland area, state police and federal law enforcement agencies are unable to overcome the situation.
He said, and when people cross the line (…) illegal activity, people are held accountable. “
Portland’s department told CBS News that “there was almost a constant protest on the snow facility in southern Portland”, but did not note the recent arrests.
“The number of protests is running over time and ending,” a spokesman for the department said. “Last night, there were some people there, and tonight is more.”
Kotek blamed the growing joint accusation against Trump: that the use of the National Guard against the needs and wishes of individual states, rather than protecting anyone, has to do a lot with the president’s power.
“All of us throughout our country, this is a misuse of power,” Kotek said.
