They\u2019ve been inciting violence,\u201d Leavitt said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mainstream local media reports and statements from local officials have contradicted that claim.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u200b\u200b\u201dThere is no need for military intervention in Oregon. There is no insurrection in Portland. No threat to national security,\u201d\u00a0Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, said in a statement Sunday.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Federal agents used tear gas and pepper balls on nonviolent protesters Saturday evening, according to local media\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opb.org\/article\/2025\/10\/05\/federal-tactics-on-protesters-escalates-hours-after-judge-rules-against-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\">reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbez.org\/politics\/2025\/10\/06\/illinois-sues-trump-over-national-guard-deployment\" target=\"_blank\">also filed<\/a> a legal challenge against the administration Monday morning. A federal judge set a hearing for Thursday. Illinois and Chicago sought a temporary restraining order to stop Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from ordering Texas and Illinois Guard troops to the country\u2019s third-largest city.<\/p>\n<h4>Trump teases Insurrection Act\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump on Monday afternoon raised the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, a tool to expand the president\u2019s legal authority for using military personnel for domestic law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Asked by a reporter in the Oval Office the conditions under which he would invoke the law, Trump said \u201cif it was necessary,\u201d and speculated that he could use it to defy courts or state officials.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cSo far it hasn\u2019t been necessary,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we have an Insurrection Act for a reason. If I had to enact it, I\u2019d do that. If people were getting killed and courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure, I\u2019d do that. I want to make sure that people aren\u2019t killed. We have to make sure our cities are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Court battle in Portland\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In Oregon, federal District Judge Karin Immergut\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oregoncapitalchronicle.com\/2025\/10\/05\/federal-judge-bars-national-guard-from-any-states-being-ordered-to-portland\/\" target=\"_blank\">broadened her order<\/a> Sunday night barring the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard troops to Portland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The edict came after Trump and Hegseth defied a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oregoncapitalchronicle.com\/2025\/10\/04\/federal-judge-blocks-trump-from-deploying-oregon-national-guard-to-portland\/\" target=\"_blank\">temporary restraining order<\/a> that Immergut issued Saturday halting 200 Oregon National Guard troops from being sent there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Immergut was nominated by Trump in 2019 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate by voice vote.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The administration maintains the Guard is needed to protect federal agents, as sustained small protests pop up outside an ICE facility 2 miles south of city hall. Kotek rebuffed Trump\u2019s claims that the city is \u201con fire\u201d and said local authorities are equipped to handle the demonstrations that lately range from a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/alexbaumhardt.bsky.social\/post\/3m2iovkrhwk24\" target=\"_blank\">dozen or so<\/a> people to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/alexbaumhardt.bsky.social\/post\/3m2g37co32c2d\" target=\"_blank\">roughly 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump ordered 101 California National Guard troops to Portland overnight, without the knowledge of Kotek, she\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/jmshumway.bsky.social\/post\/3m2iksipn3k2s\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> Sunday. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a fellow Democrat, confirmed that Trump had ordered up to 300 of his state\u2019s National Guard troops to Oregon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Just before Immergut\u2019s Sunday night emergency hearing, an Oregon assistant attorney general filed a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.ord.189270\/gov.uscourts.ord.189270.65.1_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">memo<\/a> with the court showing that Hegseth had ordered 400 Texas National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">California joined Oregon and Portland in suing the administration.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2018A domestic militarization\u2019<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pritzker said he has urged Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to \u201cimmediately withdraw his support for this decision and refuse to allow Texas National Guard members to be used in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cLet me be clear, Donald Trump is using our service members as political props and as pawns in his illegal effort to militarize our nation\u2019s cities,\u201d Pritzker said at a press conference Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said the deployment \u201cis unfair to National Guardsmen, it is unfair to local law enforcement, and it is certainly unfair to the law-abiding citizens of Illinois who do not want to be subject to military occupation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Chicago is nearly a month into a federal immigration crackdown. Dozens of federal agents raided an apartment building in the city\u2019s South Shore neighborhood on Sept. 30, ziptying adults and children, and detaining some U.S. citizens, according\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcchicago.com\/news\/local\/helicopters-tear-gas-blown-doors-a-look-at-recent-scenes-in-chicago\/3834233\/\" target=\"_blank\">to<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/10\/03\/us\/chicago-apartment-ice-raid\" target=\"_blank\">multiple<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/post\/ice-chicago-federal-agents-surround-south-shore-apartment-building-dhs-requests-military-deployment-illinois\/17908911\/\" target=\"_blank\">media<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/immigration\/2025\/10\/01\/massive-immigration-raid-on-chicago-apartment-building-leaves-residents-reeling-i-feel-defeated\" target=\"_blank\">reports<\/a>. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DHSgov\/status\/1973796727615598738\" target=\"_blank\">published<\/a> a highly produced video of the raid on social media.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump\u2019s federalization and deployment of National Guard troops to mostly Democratic-run states has alarmed political and constitutional experts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pat Eddington, senior fellow in homeland and civil liberties at the libertarian Cato Institute, said he agrees with Pritzker\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI share his belief 100% that the use of the American military and all these massive employment of ICE and HSI and FBI and marshals and the rest for ostensible immigration enforcement and ostensible crime control, it\u2019s really designed to lay the groundwork to normalize a militarization, essentially a domestic militarization of Americans, civic life,\u201d Eddington told States Newsroom in an interview in late September.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On a Monday afternoon press call, Hima Shansi, the head of the American Civil Liberties Union\u2019s national security program, said Trump\u2019s use of military and federal police forces in recent months \u201craises serious constitutional concerns in terms of federalism, the separation of powers between the federal government and the states which generally exercise police power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWhat that means in real-people language is that, as the states have been saying, they are fully capable of doing their jobs as needed, and there is absolutely no reason for the president to assert federal power in the way that he is forcibly doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Starting in Los Angeles<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump federalized California National Guard troops and deployed U.S. Marines to Los Angeles in June in response to protests against aggressive immigration enforcement there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Newsom objected to the plan and sued to stop the deployment. A federal judge initially sided with the Democratic governor and blocked the deployment, but an appeals panel reversed the decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The trial court ruled again in September that Trump had overstepped the line separating military forces from law enforcement. The administration has appealed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While that case in California was ongoing, Trump also ordered the District of Columbia National Guard to assist local police in the nation\u2019s capital. Because the district is a federal territory, it is relatively clear that move was within the president\u2019s legal authority, even if many Trump critics questioned its necessity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">National Guard troops from several Republican states also deployed to the district in a more legally dubious move.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump also ordered Tennessee National Guard troops to Memphis\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tennesseelookout.com\/2025\/09\/12\/trump-calls-for-deployment-of-troops-to-memphis-in-crime-crackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\">last month<\/a>, with the approval of the state\u2019s Republican governor.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Ashley Murray reported from Washington, D.C.
