“On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart.”

For now, the deployment of military to Oregon is blocked. But, things could change since we are awaiting the outcome of appeals. We will continue to monitor and track what is happening and share updates, while defending the rights of Oregonians. [4/4]

The successful litigation to prevent the National Guard from being deployed was a win for Oregon and its civil rights and advocacy community. We are grateful to the state leadership who prepared for this fight and litigated this issue quickly and effectively. [3/4]

After the administration attempted to deploy National Guards from California and Texas as a workaround, the judge expanded her ruling to ban National Guard deployments from all 50 states and D.C. to Oregon. [2/4]

🧵 Oregon successfully defended its Constitutional rights against an attempt by the Trump Administration to federalize the Oregon National Guard, which a federal judge blocked.[1/4]

Federal law enforcement officers have used excessive force against peaceful protestors and given favorable treatment to those who support Trump administration policies, Portland City Attorney Robert Taylor told Justice Department officials today.

'Does the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice care about the Constitution anymore?' Portland's city attorney asked in a letter to the US DOJ on Mon.

Militarized federal agents patrolling the streets doesn't make anyone safer.

People should never have to fear being brutalized by their government for protesting.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Judge Immergut in Oregon v Trump now:

"I grant plaintiffs second motion for a TRO."

Federalized Texas and California Guard to Portland is a "DIRECT CONTRAVENTION" of court's TRO from Saturday.

Both on 12406 statute and Tenth Amendment grounds.
