“A federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked the deployment of any National Guard under the Trump administration’s control inside Oregon in an emergency hearing Sunday night,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Judge Karin Immergut had said on Saturday that the Trump administration had overstepped its authority and couldn’t deploy Oregon’s National Guard to Portland. She said the same reasoning held for Sunday’s order, which came after the administration sent to Oregon 200 California National Guard troops that were under its command.”

“The Trump administration also authorized the mobilization of up to 400 members of the Texas National Guard for federal protection missions in cities including Portland and Chicago.”

Playbook: “This is fast becoming one of the totemic struggles of the Trump presidency. While Trump’s earlier military deployments to Los Angeles and Washington D.C. had an air of theatrics about them, it’s now become clear the president hopes to normalize the use of the military on American streets to quell protests and enforce his policy agenda.”

The Trump administration sent 300 federalized members of the California National Guard to Oregon early Sunday, after being blocked by a federal court from deploying the Oregon National Guard in that state, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom of California. Mr. Newsom denounced the move as a “breathtaking abuse of power” and said California would sue, the New York Times reports.

“President Trump confidante Laura Loomer has successfully campaigned for the ouster of more than a dozen national security officials and others she has accused of secretly working against the president’s ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Now she is training her considerable firepower inside the MAGA tent.”

“The 32-year-old, self-styled journalist with 1.8 million followers on X and a twice-weekly podcast ‘Loomer Unleashed,’ has emerged as a powerful figure in Trump’s second term, speaking to the president in the evening when she calls, and telling him who she thinks is disloyal to him.”

“A federal judge on Saturday blocked the Trump administration from using Oregon National Guard soldiers to help quell nightly protests at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland, Oregon,” the New York Times reports.

“Judge Karin Immergut, of the U.S. District Court in Oregon, sided with Democrats who run the state government when she issued a temporary restraining order blocking the mobilization. President Trump and the Defense Department had ordered 200 Oregon soldiers for a 60-day deployment.”
