Federal judge blocks Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to Portland

know that when US Secretary of Homeland Security Christine Gnome has described Chicago as a war zone to justify deploying the National Guard there. President Donald Trump claims that Portland and Chicago are full of paid mercenaries, saying that the cities need help. Washington DC went from a hell hole to a safe place. It took 12 days to solve the problem. 12 days. And we’re going to do that in Chicago. We’re going to do that in Portland. Now, Portland is different. That’s a bunch of paid insurrectionists, but you have a lot of paid people in Chicago, too. In the coming days, we expect their leaders are hitting back. In an interview on CNN, Illinois Governor JB Pritsker highlighted racist treatment of US citizens during an immigration and customs enforcement raid in Chicago, accusing the US president of stoking tensions instead of fighting crime. Federal agents were just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. They are the ones that are making it a war zone. They need to get out of Chicago if they’re not going to focus on the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they were going to do. Meanwhile, a federal judge has temporarily blocked the deployment of the National Guard to Oregon. Its attorney general firmly rejected their presence. The state of Oregon will absolutely not be a party to the president’s attempt to normalize the use of the United States military in our American cities. The Trump crackdown, which has seen mass ICE agents use brutal force, particularly in Democrat-led cities, has been met with unrest and protest across the country.

A federal judge late Sunday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when the president mobilized California troops for Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before.

  2. An invisible mercenary army is in Portland and the press reports this like Trump is in his right mind. Why take him at his word? Just go out to the streets of Portland and FIND OUT.

  4. The United States Army National Guard is a volunteer organization within the Department of of the Army, as part of the Department of Defense (not ‘war’, Congress actually has to make that change) under the governance of the individual states. The ANG can be federalized in certain circumstances, but not flights of fancy or politically motivated purposes, and not without the approval of the Governor if the state from which you wish to draw that resource. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (childishly nicknamed ‘ICE’) is the President’s active brute squad, over budget and soon to become a bloated, bureaucratic organization, similar to the one DOGE obliterated, totally screwing every American farmer. Deploying the ANG is an exposure experiment to prepare Americans for martial law, kangaroo courts, and swift punishments. The president’s DCOS is behind it, and he wants to reduce the country’s population by 200,000,000. Not exactly ‘pro-life’. In a nation 1/3 the size, a nobility class would rise and we’d become “The Hunger Games”. However, America is the most significantly armed population is all of history. A civil war is likely.

  6. As of now, there is actually no difference between America & Pakistan – both are buddies & both are under military dictatorship – lol

  8. Kristi Noem is unqualified. She was Governor of South Dakota which has a population of only 650,000. Until she was elected Governor she lived on a small farm on the border with Minnesota where she shot the family puppy for misbehaving and wrote about it in her book. She is part of the Republican party in the state which is anti anyone who is not of European heritage. She repeatedly attacked Lakota communities who were living on their reservations but who have sovereignty on those reservations because the land originally belonged to them and some of it was ceded to the government via treaties. Noem made wild, unfounded accusations against the Lakota communities and was eventually banned from all reservations in the state. The largest cities are Rapid City and Sioux Falls which are medium sized. She has no experience with large urban cities like Chicago and is only targeting them because they are primarily Blue. She and Trump have weaponized the Department of Homeland Security and she has misappropriated FEMA funds to support her campaign to violate and terrorize American citizens in cities across the U.S. based on whether she and Trump believe they are political enemies. She must resign

  11. Oh Thank You Jesus. It's about time for the Fall of the American Empire. We love to hear this kind of crazy news coming out from the country everyday. Thank You Jehovah God.

  24. Hehehehe… Keep trying and crying, but serious a$$ whopping is coming – you can do nothing to do it! And it's been just a bit over 9 months. Still looong time to go! Hehehehe…
    And then – the third term! 🙂
