Celebrate CA Voters for Protecting Democracy

In a major victory for democracy and state sovereignty, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut has once again stood up to Donald Trump’s abuse of power — extending her order that blocks the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Portland.

Judge Immergut’s ruling came after a three-day trial where Trump’s lawyers failed to prove that Portland faced anything close to a “rebellion” or that federal officers were unable to do their jobs. In fact, she found no credible evidence that protests were out of control, and concluded that Trump’s actions violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded presidential authority.

Her decision keeps Oregon’s streets under the control of the people and their elected leaders — not a president attempting to use military force for political gain. The ruling also affirms that dissent and peaceful protest are not grounds for militarization.

Oregon officials have fought courageously to defend their constitutional rights, and Judge Immergut’s ruling ensures that fight continues without fear or intimidation.

Add your name to applaud Judge Karin Immergut for defending democracy, protecting state sovereignty, and standing up to Trump’s unlawful power grab.
