A judge temporarily halted Trump from sending troops to Oregon, Townhall reported. So Trump sent them from California, instead. The troops will likely secure the city of Portland, which has faced protests by antifa.
City of Portland Mayor Keith Wilson decried the incoming troops.
“Yesterday, a federal judge blocked the mobilization of Oregon National Guard troops, ruling the federal seizure unlawful and unjustified," Wilson said on social media. "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.”"

President Donald Trump will federalize 300 troops of the Illinois National Guard, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker posted on social media on Saturday.
“This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.”
The troops might secure Chicago after groups of people ambushed Border Patrol agents on Saturday morning, Townhall reported. A man and a woman, who was were arrested for ramming federal agents.
