The state of Oregon filed a federal lawsuit on Sunday against Donald Trump and his administration, aiming to block the deployment of National Guard troops. The lawsuit came just hours after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced plans to deploy 200 members of Oregon’s National Guard into federal service for 60 days. The lawsuit claims such a move was “patently unlawful.” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said Hegseth’s move “threatens to undermine public safety by inciting a public outcry.” Trump claimed ICE agencies were “under siege” on Truth Social on Saturday, adding that he was planning to direct the Department of Defense to “provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland”. Rayfield claimed that it was “un-American” to use the U.S military against U.S. citizens a
