    #DCAG Brian Schwalb sued the #Trump admin challenging the #NationalGuard deployments. He asked the judge to bar the White House from deploying Guard troops without the mayor’s consent.

    #Trump’s troop order came a day after he said on social media that he was directing the Dept of #Defense to “provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged #Portland.” Trump claimed the decision was necessary to protect US #ICE facilities. #Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said Trump’s description was a false narrative meant to spur conflict.
