On Tuesday, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek directed the United States Northern Command to take immediate action to demobilize Oregon’s 200 National Guard citizen-soldiers and return the 200 California National Guard members to California.

A release from the Governor’s Office said the Oregon National Guard members are currently staged at Camp Rilea and the California National Guard is staged at Camp Withycombe.

Governor Kotek said, “Judge Karin J. Immergut’s orders are a clear and forceful rebuttal to President Trump’s misuse of states’ National Guard. Thus, I am directing Northern Command to send Oregon’s citizen-soldiers home from Camp Rilea immediately”. Governor Kotek said, “Let’s remember that these Oregonians are our neighbors and friends, who have been unlawfully uprooted from their family and careers- they deserve better than this”.
