Federal judge blocks Trump administration from sending federalized National Guard to Portland
Earlier Sunday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would sue the Trump administration after it federalized 300 California National Guard troops.
The president insisted that U.S. District Judge Immergut—whom he appointed—should be “ashamed” of how she’d served him.
State law enforcement said Monday that investigation remains ongoing, but so far “no evidence” has been found “to indicate the fire was intentionally set.”
On Sept. 28, when the Trump administration mobilized the Oregon National Guard over Gov. Tina Kotek’s wishes, the protests increased in size. On Saturday about 400 people gathered outside the ICE facility before federal agents shot tear-gas canisters into the crowd.
After the first ruling, Trump pivoted and ordered hundreds of members of the Texas and California National Guard to deploy to Oregon, forcing Immergut to issue a second injunction blocking deployment of any “federalized members of the National Guard” to the state.
President Trump is now increasingly at odds with his own appointees, a situation poised to boil over as the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reviews multiple challenges to the administration's use of the National Guard.
According to the Post and Courier in Charleston, three people were evacuated and hospitalized after the fire occurred at the home of Diane Goodstein in Edisto Beach on Oct. 4. Among those injured was Diane’s husband, former Democratic state Senator Arnold Goodstein, who reportedly jumped from a window in the house.
