The "factual background" begins with something irrelevant and erroneous. Dallas is not in Oregon, and the Dallas shooting wasn't connected to any ICE protest.

If that's enough for the President to federalize a different state's National Guard and deploy them elsewhere, then the power is limitless.

II. FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
A. Disturbances at the ICE Facility in Portland
In the days and months leading up to the federalization order at issue here,
immigration-related protests and events have occurred at several ICE facilities
around the country. While many of these events have been peaceful, others have
been violent and even deadly. For example, on September 24, there was a shooting
at an ICE facility in Dallas in which one detainee was killed, and two others were
seriously injured. Wamsley Decl. ¶ 21.1 On September 26, over 200 protesters

Scott Pelley got a big scoop with the Trump DOJ whistleblower that almost surely was going to be the top story on 60 Minutes this week. But per the NYT, Bari Weiss personally booked Jared Kushner on 60–letting him take a victory lap for the Gaza deal. Pelley’s story was pushed to second position.

If you aren’t willing to let your child be bored regularly, you’re a shitty parent. You are the reason I get stuck in traffic behind UCLA students who can’t survive a red light without watching TikTok.

LET KIDS BE BORED.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

A lot of kids were taught to read that way, sadly. There’s a fascinating podcast on it called “Sold a Story” - highly recommend.
