We got some breaking news here on the Midas Touch Network.
For those that have been following it, Judge Immergut has just issued her second temporary restraining order in favor of the state of Oregon and California about Donald Trump's attempts to send now the California National Guard into Oregon in full defiance of judge emmer guts earlier ruling from saturday late afternoon in which she said that donald trump did not have the power or the authority under the statute to commandeer and federalize the oregon national guard because the uh The elements that are necessary in order to do that were missing, such as there's no rebellion going on, and he doesn't need federal troops or the commandeered National Guard troops in order to execute federal law. Donald Trump didn't like that and decided to start sending in 200 or more
national guardsmen from California into Oregon, which led to a quick unity between Oregon and California and joining in a new temporary restraining order. And within hours, Judge Emmer got set an emergency hearing and ruled from the bench. And who better to tell us about this than the Attorney General of California, who's joining us here, Rob Bonta. A.G. Bonta, thank you for joining Midas Touch.
Grateful to be with you as always.
Thanks so much. Yes. So let's take it from your perspective. This was an Oregon case until about a half a day ago, and then it became a California and Oregon case. You were on the hearing. It was by phone mainly. Tell our audience what happened today, what Judge Emmergut did, and why you think it was correct.
What recent ruling did Judge Immergut issue regarding Trump's actions?
Yeah, you know, well, it was an Oregon case until today, though California, you know, I, speaking directly with AG Rayfield and my team talking to them, have been very closely communicating with them about what happened in L.A. with California since we were first. We've been supporting our fellow AGs as they face deployments of National Guard, whether it be D.C. or Oregon. And then today we got directly brought into the case with California. 300 federalized California National Guard people being moved 1,000 miles up north to Portland, where a judge had already said yesterday that the conditions on the ground absolutely do not justify the federalization of National Guard. They don't justify the federalization of Oregon National Guard.
And so... the federal government in its ingenious thinking said, well, her order, though it said there were no conditions to bring the National Guard, Federalized National Guard to Oregon, applied to the Oregon National Guard. How about we bring in California National Guard? Maybe that'll work.
How did California and Oregon respond to the federal government's actions?
And she was completely miffed. I just listened in on the entire hearing. First of all, thank you to my incredible team, the incredible teams in Oregon and Portland. 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.
