Quote:Oregon lawmakers are moving to restrict the federal government’s authority over the state’s National Guard despite a surge of violent anti-ICE protests, particularly in Portland.

Three Democratic state representatives introduced legislation that would block any deployment of the Oregon National Guard that would hinder its ability to respond to state emergencies such as wildfires. The bill also outlines the specific duties the Guard can and cannot be assigned. The proposal comes in response to President Donald Trump’s move to federalize the National Guard in California to help protect law enforcement amid anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.

“Deploying the military against our country’s citizens is an affront to our democratic principles,” said Representative Dacia Grayber, one of the sponsors of the bill, in a statement. “Ensuring that the Guard can only be mobilized in keeping with their congressionally-authorized functions is a common-sense safeguard to ensure separation of responsibility between our military and our local law enforcement.”

The bill passed the House Rules Committee on Tuesday, though Republican House Leader Christine Drazan voted against it, saying she wanted to consult with the caucus, according to KATU. The bill now heads to the full House to be voted on.

The legislative push comes as Oregon has experienced increasing unrest tied to anti-ICE protests. Last Saturday, during the “No Kings” Day, law enforcement declared a riot at an ICE facility in Portland after demonstrators turned violent and blocked the removal of detained migrants. Several federal officers were injured due to the actions of demonstrators.

Nearby residents from the facility have since publicly urged protesters to avoid violence, expressing concern about how the chaos is affecting their neighborhoods.

Downtown Portland has also seen unrest in recent days, with protesters setting fires, blocking roads, and assaulting a journalist.

They’re not deploying them against their own citizens. They’re deploying them against criminal ILLEGAL aliens

This sounds so much like the Defund the Police movement when after a while they decided that they did want the police afterall. Stupid satanists can't make up their minds.

I say let it burn, at least they'll get a taste of what coming when they kick the bucket...if you get what I mean.

I look forward to seeing the pics of the governor barring ICE entry into a building entrance housing illegal aliens - particularly ones who have committed further crimes like rape and murder. "Malefaction now, malefaction tomorrow, malefaction forever!"

What would be the downside to Oregon burning?

Serious question.

They still don't get it....
