She condemned the move, saying in a statement: “The facts haven’t changed. There is no need for military intervention in Oregon. There is no insurrection in Portland. No threat to national security. Oregon is our home, not a military target. Oregonians exercising their freedom of speech against unlawful actions by the Trump Administration should do so peacefully.”

Texas National Guard called into service
Before the late-night ruling, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a memo Sunday that he is calling up to 400 members of the Texas National Guard into federal service in Chicago and Portland for up to 60 days with the potential for an extension.

“On October 4, 2025, the President determined that violent incidents, as well as the credible threat of continued violence, are impeding the execution of the laws of the United States in Illinois, Oregon, and other locations throughout the United States,” Hegseth wrote.

The memo was included in a court filing by the Oregon attorney general’s office in the Oregon National Guard case Sunday night.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said in a news release Sunday that no federal officials had called him to coordinate the guard’s deployment.

“We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion,” wrote Pritzker, a Democrat. “It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.”
