Today in the Supreme Court, the president’s own lawyers said that the American people will pay 30-80% of the $4 trillion in tariffs. Meanwhile, we’re experiencing an affordability crisis: rising costs of groceries, cuts to food benefits, and more. This is a betrayal of trust.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon. The president can’t keep playing whack-a-mole w/ different states’ Guard units to get around court orders & the rule of law.

Yesterday, the Oregon DOJ argued that the president had not met the standards required by Congress to federalize the National Guard. The judge agreed with us: the president must have actual facts - based on reality - to mobilize the military in the United States.

Yesterday, we filed a lawsuit challenging Trump’s illegal federalization of the National Guard. This morning, we filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to block the federalization from going into effect. We’ll keep sharing updates as things progress.

We are in a dangerous place in America right now. Today’s ruling is a wake-up call for the president: it halts what appears to be the president’s attempts to normalize the US military in our cities. #nationalguard #portland #portlandoregon #orpol

We will urge the full Ninth Circuit to vacate today’s decision by a 3-judge panel, before deployments can occur. A Ninth Circuit judge has already called for a vote on whether the case should be heard by the full court. Our team will file a brief encouraging the court to do so.

This is the first time in our history that a president has used food benefits as a political tool. In Oregon, 450,000 families receive SNAP benefits. We filed a lawsuit to release these funds - because no one should go hungry because the government refuses to follow the law.

The president must follow the Constitution. If he wants to push the boundaries, we’ll hold the line in court. This is America. The U.S. military has no place in our streets. Portland is peaceful. There is no reason to deploy National Guard here.

Look at what the president is doing: Attacking the judiciary. Attacking free press. Using fear to intimidate. Trying to normalize the U.S. military in our streets. This is not normal. This is not American. These are attacks on the very pillars of our democracy.

This morning in the district court, we’ll lay out the case for why our second Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) should stay in effect and Nat’l Guard should not be deployed to Portland. Oregon will not allow the president to normalize the use of the U.S. military in our cities.

Having the U.S. military in our streets is not normal in America — and no one is above the law. On Friday, we’ll be standing up for Oregonians in court, urging the judge to rule that deployment is unlawful and must be stopped. We’ll continue to fight for Oregon’s laws.
