Looking back at Oregon's significant legal battles against Trump's administration in 2025
As the year draws to a close, we take a look back at some of the most significant legal battles between the state of Oregon and the Trump administration. The year ended with significant legal battles between the state of Oregon and the Trump administration, including the National Guard deployment to Portland and the Department of Health and Human Services. The most contentious case involved President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guards to Portland after protests outside the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility were held. Oregon argued that the president lacked the authority to invoke Title 10 and deploy troops without proof of rebellion, invasion, or inability to enforce federal law. Other states joined Oregon in challenging President Trump's tariffs, which experts estimate could increase the cost of living for Oregonians by about $4,000 annually. Oregon Attorney General Rayfield also sued the Trump Administration over the freezing of federal funds and its attempts to obtain data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). In December, a federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked the administration from fining states millions of dollars over their implementation of SNAP under new federal guidelines.
