BREAKING NEWS: Just now, we secured a court order on behalf of our multistate coalition: the judge ruled from the bench that healthcare decisions must stay with families and their providers, not the government. #orpol

We just filed argument is the case to prevent ICE agents from engaging in unlawful and unconstitutional behavior in Oregon. #orpol

Oregon became a state on February 14, 1859 – and here at the Oregon Department of Justice, we are working every day to defend and uphold Oregon’s laws and values. Happy birthday to our favorite state! #orpol

Yesterday, a federal judge ordered an important check on the excessive use of force we saw at the Portland ICE facility this past weekend. Peaceful protesters should never be met with tear gas – in Oregon, or anywhere. Read our full statement. #orpol

Today, Martin Luther King Jr.’s words ring as true as they did half a century ago: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." We’ll continue the fight for justice every day.

Next Wednesday, January 21, we're hosting four visiting Attorneys General for a Federal Oversight & Accountability Town Hall at Revolution Hall in Portland. Join us: bit.ly/Jan21-TownHall ASL & Spanish interpretation provided. #orpol #townhall #portland @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov @ag.state.mn.us

Check out some of our key accomplishments from 2025. We’ll keep up the pace in 2026!

It’s been a big year at DOJ! Check out some highlights:

The secret’s out: I now make sourdough. Jokes aside, I really appreciate the WW team and the Oregon Journalism Project recently taking the time to ask questions about my time as AG so far. It’s an honor to serve Oregonians! www.wweek.com/news/2025/12...

Governor Kotek has consistently stood up for Oregonians and the values we share. We’ve worked side by side against harmful federal actions, including opposing troop deployment in Portland. She’s the partner I need to continue this fight, and I am proud to support her re-election.

My friend Rob Wagner is joining me for the next Oregon Priorities town hall on December 17 at PCC Sylvania in SW Portland. See below for the full details — we’d love to have you join us!

Thankful for so much, but after our meal, we are incredibly thankful for the family dish pre-wash.

My dad was a colonel in the Air Force Reserve, and I’ve seen his service, dedication, and leadership throughout my life. This Veterans Day, I’m grateful for my dad and the lessons he taught me — and for all those who serve our country in uniform.

We just got a huge win for Oregonians - and a check on the president's power: we received a ruling preventing the president from deploying the National Guard on the streets of our cities. No one - not even the president - is above the law.

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a final court order blocking National Guard deployment! Today's ruling is a huge victory for Oregon. The courts are holding this administration accountable to the truth and the rule of law.

Trump is saying other countries will pay for his tariffs, but HIS OWN LAWYERS are telling the Supreme Court the opposite. According to White House lawyers, American families will front 30-80% of these costs. Ridiculous and reckless. @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard Dem AGs’ arguments about Trump’s harmful tariffs and the illegal way he has gone about imposing them. @azagmayes.bsky.social @agdanrayfield.bsky.social @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov

We just presented our case at the U.S. Supreme Court — these tariffs are an illegal abuse of emergency power that’s harming working families across our country. Oregon Solicitor General Ben Gutman joins to talk about how it went.

It’s Election Day, Oregon! Remember to turn in your ballot by 8pm. More info at oregonvotes.gov

We’re going to the Supreme Court this week! Oregon is leading the multistate lawsuit challenging the president’s illegal tariffs. We’ll be presenting our case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in DC on Wednesday.

Here's the latest on our lawsuit preventing the president from deploying the National Guard to Oregon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HNy...

Happy Halloween! If a black cat crosses your path today, I hope it’s as cute as Cuddles. 🐈‍⬛

Hope to see you there!

BREAKING NEWS: We’re suing the Trump administration for illegally suspending SNAP benefits. Approximately 1 in 6 Oregonians receive SNAP benefits, including more than 214,000 children and 130,000 older adults.

Ever wondered how to explain tariffs to Gen Z? I recently laid it out for Gov. Beshear (and his teenagers) — just in time for Oregon to take our tariffs case to the Supreme Court on November 5. What topic should we translate next?!

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote. This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The district court in Oregon just scheduled a hearing on Friday on the government’s motion to dissolve our second TRO, which currently prevents any Guard deployments in Oregon.

We are standing with Planned Parenthood in the legal fight against unlawful defunding. In Oregon, Planned Parenthood health centers provide care through more than 100,000 patient visits each year - nearly 70% of which are for patients covered by Medicaid.

We will urge the *full* Ninth Circuit to vacate today’s decision by a three-judge panel, before illegal Guard deployments can occur. A Ninth Circuit judge has already called for a vote on whether the case should be heard by the full court. Our team will file a brief encouraging the court to do so.

Today across our state, Oregonians are standing up for our shared values of freedom and justice for all. Be peaceful, be vocal, and get creative with those signs! Find a march near you: www.nokings.org#map #NoKings

You may not have heard about our tariffs case in awhile - but we’re heading to the Supreme Court next month! Get caught up on everything that’s happened so far.

Go to law school, they said. You’ll have job security, they said. I never expected to use my law degree to file so many lawsuits against the president… but you’ve gotta follow the law, whoever you are.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: District court just extended both TROs and confirmed that an expedited trial on the merits will start on 10/29. Ninth Circuit has not yet ruled on the first TRO stay motion. Read more about what happened & what's next.

I was truly touched to receive a declaration of support from the Democratic Party of Washington Co. When I ran for AG, I never expected to sue the president so many times… yet we have to uphold the Constitution, and we have to uphold Oregon‘s laws and values. Grateful for the statement of support.

We are seeing the dangerous weaponization of our criminal justice system — from Comey to AG James in NY. We have a president who leads through fear. But we need to bring people together. I’m grateful to the local organizers across our state who are doing this important work.

President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire on Friday — even as we enjoyed fall rain, and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...
