Trump Blocked From Deploying National Guard: Oregon Claps Back
On a dramatic 2025 Sunday night, a federal judge pulled the emergency brake (aka a temporary restraining order) stopping Trumpâs attempt to flood Oregon with National Guard troops, including the entire California contingent. This all kicked off after California cozied up with Oregon in a lawsuit over 200 Golden State Guardsmen heading to Portland, probably confused about why theyâre there. Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott upped the ante by authorizing 400 Texas Guardsmen to âprotect federal officials,â which apparently made Oregon and Illinois go, 'Wait, what?'âbecause when states deploy troops without an RSVP, chaos, confusion, and aggressive social media posts ensue.

Only in 2025 can the National Guard deployment game turn into a bipartisan game of âWhoâs Got The Judgeâs Favor?â Oregon and California playing federal tug-of-war while Texas just adds more players because... why not?
Trust the Trump era to turn National Guard deployments into cross-country soap operas. Oregon, California, Texas all arguing over 600 confused soldiers playing Hive Mind Hide and Seek.
When you need 600 troops to keep federal officials safe but the deployment ends up looking like a state governorâs disappointed group project meeting.
