you've interacted with me off and on for over twenty years on a message board. Would I lie to you? The word 'mobilize' is a term involved in the activation of Oregon National Guard troops. It also opens the door for federal money to be spent, as opposed to Oregon bearing the brunt of expense for the assistance to the ICE facility. Most of the troops activated will be Oregon National Guard - trained in LE/DSCA - and the rest coming from anywhere else will be supplemental to ensure all involved are trained DSCA - whatever the mission requires.

Gov Kotek has already coordinated with Trump - the conversation has been referred to in numerous, including Reuters, articles - I don't give a dayum what Ms Tina gets in front of a camera and says.

Here is the part I want you to listen to and believe I would not lie to you - this action IS necessary. I promise. I would like it not to be necessary - but it is what it is.

And for gawd's sake - A governor cannot order the national guard to attack itself - that would only garner us Martial Law and wouldn't that be fun for all - right?
