California vs Trump: National Guard Goes Rogue In Portland
In a dazzling display of state vs. federal tug-of-war, California and Oregon sued the Trump administration on Sunday, after 100 California National Guard troops stealthily marched to Oregon, despite a federal judge’s fresh restraining order. Governor Newsom, fiery as ever, vowed to slay this federal beast, calling out Pentagon’s Sean Parnell for dispatching 200 troops from LA to Portland to back ICE’s law-enforcing hustle. Dan Rayfield, Oregon's AG, tweeted legal fireworks on Bluesky, shocked that dudes in uniform ignored court orders like bad group project partners. This saga, named in suits including DHS bigwigs like Kristi Noem, feels like a political reality show but with more camo and legal briefs.
