Oregon Fights Back — And the Courts Agree

A federal judge has once again stood up for democracy, state sovereignty, and the rule of law — extending an order that blocks Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops to Portland.

Judge Karin Immergut’s decision keeps Trump’s federalization efforts on hold, ensuring that Oregon’s streets remain under the control of the people and their elected leaders — not the whims of a president trying to score political points. Her ruling gives time for the courts to fully review the case and prevents unnecessary militarization of peaceful communities.

Oregon’s leaders, including Attorney General Dan Rayfield, have vowed to keep fighting to uphold state laws and constitutional rights — and they’re winning. This is another powerful victory for freedom, accountability, and local self-governance in the face of authoritarian overreach.

Add your name to applaud Judge Immergut for defending democracy, standing with Oregon’s people, and blocking Trump’s reckless attempt to deploy troops against American cities.
