Oregon governor calls Trump's actions 'threat to democracy'

Season 2025 Episode 279 | 9m 21s

President Trump’s plan to deploy National Guard troops to U.S. cities is setting up a new showdown in federal courts over the limits of his authority. Illinois sued the administration to stop plans to send in 400 troops from Texas. It comes after a separate judge blocked Trump from sending California’s National Guard to Oregon. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek.
