“It’s Appalling. It’s Un-American”: Gavin Newsom Flips Out Over President Trump Ordering California National Guard Troops to Portland After Judge Blocks Oregon Guard Deployment
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) erupted in anger on Sunday in response to President Donald Trump ordering three hundred California National Guard troops to be deployed to Portland, Oregon, a day after a federal judge blocked him from federalizing Oregon National Guard troops to help defend the ICE facility in Portland from Democrat-protected Antifa terrorists who have waged a violent siege all summer long.
Newsom vowed to sue Trump to stop the deployment, calling it “appalling,” “un-American,” and a “breathtaking abuse of power.”
Beyond going to court, Newsom acknowledged he was powerless to stop Trump, noting, “President Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.”
Newsom is still smarting from Trump deploying California National Guard troops to Los Angeles last June to protect federal buildings and ICE agents from rioting over immigration enforcement operations.
On Friday, Newsom told the San Francisco Chronicle that California National Guard troops had been ordered to Oregon to help train that state’s Guard troops (excerpt):
Some California National Guard troops are being sent to Portland, Ore., to help train soldiers deployed there by President Donald Trump, Gov. Gavin Newsom told the Chronicle on Friday evening. He said his administration may sue over the move, depending on what the soldiers are asked to do there.
“It’s very questionable that they’re being tasked to do that,” Newsom said. “Our legal team has already been engaged on this for the last day … if they do it, we’re prepared to litigate.”
Newsom said he was told Thursday that some of the troops currently deployed to Los Angeles would be sent to Portland “to help with training exercises.” He said he didn’t know if they had already been sent or how many would be deployed. He called the move “deeply alarming.”
