Oregon is sued the Trump Guard
Oregon officials filed a lawsuit seeking to prevent the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard forces in Portland, which increased legal battles against President Trump’s use of forces in major cities.
Oregon and Portland state filed a joint lawsuit on Sunday against Trump, Defense Secretary Beit Higseth and Minister of Internal Security Christie Nom due to the deployment of the National Guard to the city.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the Federal Court, calls on the deployment of the National Guard to Portland “heavy” and illegal.
The president, in a post on the social truth platform on Saturday morning, directed Higseth to “provide all the necessary forces” for publication in Portland. This step of protests comes outside an ICE enforcement and customs enforcement facility in the city, where Trump claimed that the building “under the siege of the attack by Antifa, and other local terrorists.”
Nevertheless, the court file argued that the protests included less than 30 people in recent weeks and no arrests have been made since mid -June.
“The deployment of the heavy defendants of the forces threatens to escalate tensions and strike new unrest, which means that more law enforcement resources for the plaintiffs will be spent in responding to the predictable consequences to take the actions of the defendants,” the case case states.
Oregon Governor Tina Cotik (D), who appeared at a press conference alongside the state prosecutor Dan Riveld (D) and the mayor of Portland Keith Wilson (D), called for “abuse of power and the abolition of our societies and members of our service,” according to Koin 6 in Portland.
Komek also walked with the residents in the center of Portland on Sunday, saying in a post on the Social X platform “We don’t need military intervention here.”
As a ruler, Cotik controls the National Guard in its mandate. The lawsuit claims that Trump does not have the power to control the National Guard in Oregon, under Chapter 10, Article 12406 of the United States Law, which gives the president the ability to put a federal national guards in the state if the country is facing an invasion or rebellion or the president “is unable to implement ordinary forces to implement the law.”
The lawsuit also says that Trump violates the tenth amendment to the American constitution, which states that the authority that has not been delegated to the federal government is intended for the states. It also says this step violates the Posse Comitaus law, which prevents federal forces from using it to enforce the civil law.
“The defendants have violated Oregon’s sovereign authority to manage its law enforcement activity and the resource of the National Guard,” the lawsuit says. “Far from strengthening public safety, provocative and arbitrary procedures for the defendants are threatening to undermine public safety by inciting a public protest.”
White House spokesman Abigil Jackson told NBC News that the president’s actions were “legal” and “made Portland safer.”
She said: “President Trump uses his legal authority to direct the National Guard to protect federal assets and employees in Portland after months of violent riots, as officers were attacked and doxxed by left -wing riots.”
The Pentagon refused to comment on the lawsuit. The hill also communicates with the Ministry of Internal Security to comment.
