Earlier Sunday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would sue the Trump administration after it deployed the federalized troops — National Guard members called into service by the president — to Oregon.
“This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power,” Newsom said in a statement. “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.”
In a statement, the White House had confirmed the movement of California National Guard troops to Oregon.
