September 2025
In September 2025, the President Trump announced that he would deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon based on unfounded allegations that it had become unsafe. The City of Portland and the State of Oregon fought the order in court. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said the deployment was "not acceptable" and did not meet the legal necessary requirements, since there is no invasion and no insurrection.
On Nov. 7, 2025, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a final order barring the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Portland, after hearing arguments and evidence in a three-day trial. At the end of December 2025 the president announced removal of troops from several cities, including Portland, even though the Guard was never actually lawfully deployed to Portland.
