So we have partisan political police in the middle of a work day attending a political rally in uniform. Looks like Nuremberg in 1936.

![MEMORANDUM OF LAW
I. INTRODUCTION
Yesterday, this Court recognized that the legal principles at stake in this case “go[] to the
heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.” Opinion & Order
Granting Mot. for Temporary Restraining Order (“Order”), ECF 56 at 2. Applying those
principles, this Court concluded that Defendants likely lacked authority to federalize Oregon
National Guard members and ordered Defendants to halt federalization for 14 days. Defendants
filed a notice of appeal last night (Ntc. of Appeal, ECF 57), and they have now asked the Ninth
Circuit to stay the effect of this Court’s decision.
Not content with this Court’s or the Ninth Circuit’s judgment, Defendants are now in the
process of circumventing this Court's Order. After this Court ruled that 10 U.S.C. § 12406 could
not justify federalizing the Oregon National Guard to deploy them to Portland, Defendants have
deployed members of the California National Guard to Portland—servicemembers who were
federalized under that very same Title 10 authority for deployment in Los Angeles. That
redeployment is illegal: Setting aside whether the underlying federalization order from August
violated Section 12406, the federalization order clearly did not contemplate the use of California](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreibjegxtrxgazrxcnjswezrqiyfuiqgiciwilpiuchnes7rg5c4uae)
