Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. Late last night, a federal judge in Oregon issued a second order blocking President Trump from deploying any National Guard troops to Oregon. It's the second ruling this weekend on the issue from the same judge, and it comes after Trump ordered troops from Oregon and California to deploy to Oregon. He's also ordered National Guard troops from Texas to go to Illinois. Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker is calling these deployments, quote, Trump's invasion. From member station WBEZ in Chicago, Araceli Gomez-Aldana reports Pritzker has resisted other demands by Trump.
The governor also refused to activate Illinois National Guard troops, even after the White House gave him what he called an ultimatum, saying, call up your troops or we will. And on Sunday, after learning about Trump's move to send Texas National Guard to Chicago, Pritzer called it, quote, madness and asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott to refuse. In the meantime, the U.S. Border Patrol agents have been patrolling downtown Chicago wearing tactical gear and carrying long guns and making arrests.
Araceli Gomez-Aldana reporting. Ballots for California's special election are being mailed out today. Voters will weigh in on a ballot measure that would let state officials redraw California's congressional map ahead of elections this year. NPR's Ashley Lopez has more.
Proposition 50 in California is a response to Texas lawmakers who redrew the state's congressional map recently to create five more favorable seats for Republicans.
What recent legal actions have impacted National Guard deployments?
Texas lawmakers took on this effort at the request of President Trump, who wants Republicans to keep control of Congress next year. California Democrats led by Governor Gavin Newsom vowed to counter Texas's redistricting effort by creating five more favorable congressional seats for Democrats in the state. But unlike Texas, California has an independent redistricting commission. So lawmakers have to ask voters for permission first to bypass the independent commission that voters in California approved in 2008 and 2010. Ashley Lopez, NPR News.

In recent months, the former and new ownership of CBS have announced a series of moves.
