One day after a judge blocked the mobilization of the Oregon National Guard, the federal government instead activated California National Guard troops. Mayor Keith Wilson responds. “Yesterday, a federal judge blocked the mobilization of Oregon National Guard troops, ruling the federal seizure unlawful and unjustified. Despite that ruling, the federal government has activated California National Guard personnel under Title 10 to operate in Portland. This action circumvents the court's decision and threatens to inflame a community that has remained peaceful. Our legal team is coordinating with our partners and will immediately pursue all lawful steps to enforce the judge's order and protect Portlanders' rights. Portland remains committed to protecting the right to protest and safeguarding our community's safety. I've said from the very beginning, the number of federal troops needed or wanted in our city is zero. We are also committed to peaceful, purposeful protest, and the legal process. I urge federal leadership to honor the court's judgment and suspend any deployments that defy it. Portland will defend the rule of law and the rights of our residents.” Visit the city’s website to learn more. #Portland #LovePortland #SanctuaryCity #PortlandStrong
