Newsom Seeks Order to Stop Trump's Guard Deployment

Governor Gavin Newsom plans to seek a court order to halt President Trump's deployment of California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. Newsom denounced the move as an "abuse of power" and an attempt to circumvent a federal judge's ruling that blocked the federalization of Oregon's National Guard. Experts consider the deployment of troops from another state without gubernatorial consent unprecedented and potentially illegal. The White House claims the action is to "protect federal assets and personnel" amid "violent riots."
