The state of Oregon and its largest city, Portland, have filed a lawsuit against the United States government. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Local media outlets provided information about this. According to the complaint submitted on September 28, President Donald Trump overstepped his authority by calling National Guard soldiers into federal service in response to protests.
Lawyers emphasize that this decision contradicts the principles of the United States Constitution and may negatively affect public safety instead of suppressing unrest. The document states that the defendants' provocative and arbitrary actions could escalate protest sentiments and potentially harm security.
The complaint names President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and relevant federal agencies as defendants. On the same day, Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth issued a memorandum to immediately call 200 Oregon National Guard soldiers into federal service for a period of 60 days.
This situation is regarded as a serious issue concerning the violation of the powers of state authorities.
