Chief Executive Trump has directed the transfer of federal troops from the state of California to Oregon after a legal decision that denied his previous proposal to send the National Guard in Portland.

This move sidesteps a judicial order that had blocked the deployment of forces in the Oregon city by instead using guard personnel who were already deployed in LA after recent protests in that area.

The state's Gov the governor pledged to file a lawsuit over the manoeuvre, which he called a "stunning violation of the legal system and executive power".

Portland is the latest US urban area – a number of which are Democrat-led – targeted as part of the Trump's public safety initiative. He has claimed that military forces are essential to establish order amid persistent protests over immigration enforcement.

"This action does not concern protection, it's about control. The president is employing the US military as a partisan tool targeting US residents," Newsom stated after Donald Trump ordered the personnel to Portland, accusing the leader of defying courts.

"Our administration will pursue this battle to the legal system, but the people cannot keep passive in the face of such reckless and autocratic conduct by the chief of the United States."

Ongoing Demonstrations Related to Immigration Actions

Demonstrations have been persistent in Portland and additional urban areas over the Trump administration's expanded federal actions.
