Three hundred California National Guard members are on their way to Oregon on President Trump’s orders after a judge blocked his deployment of federal troops to Portland, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Sunday.
The California governor is planning to sue over the deployment, Newsom said in a statement.
“This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power,” he said.
A judge granted a temporary restraining order Saturday blocking Trump from sending the National Guard to Portland. The Trump administration said it would appeal the ruling.
