TLDR: Judge Immergut GRANTS a 2nd TRO blocking the Trump admin from sending ANY federalized troops from ANY state into Oregon/Portland. (Full hearing thread below)

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

they're not just fucking with the rule of law and the functioning of our democratic system, they're also undermining the basic compact of our federal union

Yeah DHS has got to be repealed and replaced, which would actually be a great opportunity for some wider restructuring of American domestic security infra

the reason he wrote the piece is essentially as a warning to the New Right to get serious about regime consolidation because he knows most of the radical Trumpist courtiers don't have a plan outside a vague "own the libs" ad-hocracy

I believe the majority of our bombing was in the South, as aerial support for ground forces.

An attack on Mexico has a decent chance of spilling a hot war into Texas which Trump does not want

NYT says he joined ROTC "months" before 9/11, so probably not even an ROTC cadet at that point.
