Trump sends California National Guard to Portland, Newsom plans to sue

October 5, 2025

Gov. Gavin Newsom

By KAREN VELIE

After a federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s deployment of the Oregon National Guard, Trump sent 300 California National Guard troops to Portland. Governor Gavin Newsom then vowed to sue the Trump administration.

On Saturday, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s deployment of Oregon National Guard troops, saying the administration failed to prove that local law enforcement could not handle immigration-related protests in downtown Portland. Trump then sent troops from California to Portland.

On Sunday, Newsom announced plans to sue Trump over what he called a “breathtaking abuse of power.”

“The Trump Administration is unapologetically attacking the rule of law itself and putting into action their dangerous words — ignoring court orders and treating judges, even those appointed by the president himself, as political opponents,” Newsom said in a statement. “This isn’t about public safety, it’s about power. The commander-in-chief is using the U.S. military as a political weapon against American citizens.”

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so”.

How true this statement by our former president is, it’s more obvious today than ever before!!!!


What does today’s Republican Party have to do with Ronald Reagan? Or even the Republican Party?


We all know that ‘rule of law’ Newsome caters to, feeds, houses, millions of illegal aliens, a category that includes drug runners, child traffickers, murderers, rapists, but that’s basically not on his ‘rule of law’ radar.


We all do? I don’t. Unless you’d like to present us with some data.


Gavin Newsom and Tink Kotek are Trump’s worst nightmare – tough competent governors who recognize him for what he is.


Ha ha.


LMFAO at the fact that you called Newsom competent!!!! That’s a real knee slapper!


Your TDS is getting the best of you!!!


Melania has the hots for Gavin.


Ha. Their asses are grass, and Trump is the fukkin’ lawnmower.


You’ve turned the lawnmower on yourself. Dems are trying to get it out of your hands before you hurt yourself.


We need to have an accounting of what all of these lawsuits filed by Newsom are costing us… I’ve lost count of how many he has filed… but I don’t think he has even won one yet…


But no concerns about the millions it’s costing us to send National Guard troops all over the nation?


The National guard are protecting taxpayer built buildings… failed lawsuits filed so Newsom can stay in the news is a waste of taxpayer money… he knows he will lose… he wants to be the democrat candidate for president which if he is he will lose that too…


If you can’t see that Trump is using ICE and the National Guard [and now there is talk of the 82nd Airborne] to stay in power while simultaneously saving his own ass, then you would be what is known as a prime “mark” for a confidence scam.


If you lefties hadn’t opened the borders to drug runners we wouldn’t have to spend a dime, but tossing them out is still cheaper than feeding them and dealing with the crimes they commit.


You people would be hilarious if you weren’t so dangerous. You’ll fight to the death to keep a dirt-poor brown person from getting into see a doctor but won’t say a thing about a billionaire not paying a dime in taxes. It’s the damndest thing. Defies all logic.


Not one concern whatsoever!!!


Us Americans with common sense are over the lawlessness and “illegals before Americans” policies.


Send in the troops and cleans up the dumpster fire the radical left has created.

Disregard the governor for second. Either maga members don’t understand the constitution or they too stupid to care? Which one is it?


It’s a combination of those and one other: they want this. They want troops in the street and they want ethnic cleansing – and they think it’s God’s will.
