Oregon and Portland file injunction against federalizing National Guard

The State of Oregon and the City of Portland have filed an immediate injunction against an order issued by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The order seeks to federalize between 200 and 2,000 Airmen and Soldiers from the Oregon National Guard, placing them out of the control of the Governor of Oregon.

This legal action comes in response to the federal directive, which has raised concerns regarding state authority and the management of the National Guard. The specifics of the injunction and the legal arguments presented by Oregon and Portland have not been disclosed at this time.

As previously reported, similar situations involving federal and state authority have garnered attention in various contexts across the country. The outcome of this injunction could have implications for the relationship between state and federal military control.
