And his argument was that this is not the Oregon National Guard.

That's what you're

order yesterday applied to.

This is the California National Guard.

They've already been federalized.

And they're just being repositioned from Los Angeles and California to Portland.

And she was having none of that and not buying any of that hyper-technical approach.

She was getting to the substance.

And I think she was likely offended, though she didn't show it.

She was very professional and had outstanding demeanor.

by this effort to end run or just violate blatantly her order from yesterday.

I don't.

And look, on August 8th, Trump deployed 300 National Guard for 90 days longer in Los Angeles, arguing that they are necessary and essential to enforce the federal laws and to keep people safe.

And then today he's like, nah, maybe I'll send all of them to Portland.

They don't need to be in LA.

So it completely undercuts his position in our case in LA.

And we're gonna make that known to the court that these Federalized National Guard are so essential and so necessary to keep the peace and keep public safety that they were all sent away a thousand miles away to another city.

You were given a gift, AG Bonta.

I mean, it is deplorable what happened, and we are going to let the court know how it impacts the case that we have.

I thought she did a great job and tons of credit to her.
