White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller railed against a Saturday ruling that temporarily blocked President Trumps attempts to deploy 200 National Guard soldiers to Portland, Ore. Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge
, Miller, an architect of many Trump administration immigration policies, wrote in a Saturday statement on the social platform X.
He accused local law enforcement of failing to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers facing relentless terrorist assault. This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself, he added in the weekend post.
Hours prior, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, said there was ultimately no need for troops in Portland, siding with the states argument that the presidents attempt to deploy soldiers was based largely on a fictional narrative about public safety in the city.
In her Saturday ruling, Immergut agreed that the president is certainly entitled to a great level of deference but said that is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on the ground. The Presidents determination was simply untethered to the facts, the judge wrote.

(2,891 posts)... who has never been able to comprehend the concept of filters. His diseased brain is incapable of moderating his speech so that his inherently evil nature is masked at least a little bit. He is a balls-to-the-wall, no holds barred Charles Manson wannabe who has had wet dreams of controlling an army of like-minded monsters, and has finally created them with ICE. He is the very embodiment of the distilled essence of conservatism: Unbridled malice and mind-numbing depravity unleashed to try to satisfy the GOP's gluttonous craving for total dominion over the lives of others by any and all means necessary, up to, and including, handcuffing naked children in the middle of a cold night and detaining them outside for hours. But that's just the most recent example. The list is long. VERY long.
Even Satan would say, "Oh, come ON, guys! Really?" These evil motherfuckers just laugh. THIS is Republicanism stripped bare for all the world to see.
Are we great yet?
