It was a team effort, folks working overtime.

Obviously, today's a Sunday, and democracy needs to be protected every day, and the rule of law does as well.

And she was really miffed.

Her first set of questions of the federal government were, how does this not violate my order from yesterday?

And I think she's right, you know, that this sort of super technical approach to try to bring National Guard in that's from another state and just minutes before the hearing commenced, we got word through a memorandum from Secretary Hegseth that the Texas

National Guard has been federalized, 2,000 of them with 400 of them being deployed to both Portland and Chicago.

So it is clear that

it's a sort of whack-a-mole approach from the federal government.

You stop the Oregon National Guard from being federalized, we'll bring in the California National Guard.

You stop the California National Guard from being brought up north, we'll bring in the Texas National Guard.

You stop them, who's got next?

We got a bunch of others we can bring in.

And so we asked her, the judge, to issue a broad order

that applies to every National Guard in every state and the District of Columbia, and that none of them can be federalized and deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order from the bench.

She's going to back it up with a written order as well.

She was concerned based on the behavior of the federal government about what the scope of her order should be and believed, and I agree, that a broad order that is broad in scope is appropriate.

So the conditions have not changed in 24 hours.

National Guard being deployed in Oregon was unlawful yesterday.

It's unlawful today as well.
