AG Rayfield statement in response to threat of National Guard being deployed to Oregon

If the president tries to send troops into Oregon to police our communities, we will not hesitate to take action in court. Although some threats from the Trump administration may be new or surprising, this one is not: we've been preparing to respond since Trump returned to office. We're actively preparing for various scenarios, in coordination with key partners in Oregon, and our multistate AG coalition. California showed how effective our approach can be to stop federal overreach. Oregon is a safe place, and we intend to keep it that way. The president may have a lot of power, but he has to stay in his lane-and if he doesn't, we'll hold him accountable.
