Trump Ignores Lawless Ruling of Lowly District Court Judge and Sends Troops to Portland

It's time to start impeaching these insurrectionary "judges."

President Trump on Sunday sent 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, defying a federal court order to block the move. The deployment comes after months of Antifa-led chaos outside an ICE facility and what the White House called a total failure of local leaders to restore order.

Key Details:

The deployment came just one day after U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut blocked Trump's plan to federalize the Oregon National Guard, ruling it unconstitutional and in violation of federal law restricting military involvement in domestic law enforcement.

Despite the ruling, Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to mobilize California troops, saying he has "lawful authority" to defend federal officers and facilities under attack.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the move as "un-American" and vowed to sue. The White House defended the decision, pointing to ongoing "violent riots and attacks on law enforcement," while ICE officials reported nightly assaults by Antifa mobs outside the Portland detention center.

Diving Deeper:

President Donald Trump took decisive action Sunday, deploying 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, despite a federal court order attempting to block him. The move followed months of violent unrest and nightly assaults on federal immigration officers that state and local authorities repeatedly failed to stop.

Trump's order came after U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled Saturday that deploying troops would "violate the Constitution and federal law barring military involvement in domestic law enforcement." Her ruling claimed that protests near the ICE processing facility in south Portland were "small and uneventful."

Mostly peaceful small and uneventful attacks on federal officials.

That assessment directly contradicted reports from the Department of Homeland Security detailing repeated attacks, vandalism, and harassment of ICE personnel by Antifa-linked agitators.

In defiance of the ruling, Trump directed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to deploy "all necessary forces" to protect federal assets. White House officials said the president acted under his constitutional authority to ensure national security and uphold federal law. "President Trump exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement," a White House spokeswoman told The New York Post. "President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities."

Good precedent. Just ignore them.
