Judge Bars National Guard From Relocating to Oregon for Federal Service
TL/DR –
A federal judge in the US has issued a broad order barring any National Guard members from being relocated from any state for federal service in Oregon. The ruling came after the Trump administration had already sent about 200 California National Guard members to Oregon. The order also prevents Texas National Guard members, who were authorized by the defense secretary to transfer, from being moved to Oregon to protect federal property and officers.
