The key here is the following:
When the President is unable to execute the laws of the United States with regular forces. This section ensures that the National Guard can be mobilized to address significant threats to national security and maintain order.
So in this case, the judge is placing her personal form of Presidential judgement ahead of the actual President's judgement. This clause specifically covers what the President is ordering. ICE is federal law enforcement and they are arguably being prevented by local protesters and a lack of local police help from doing their duty. Whether or not protesters, Oregon officials, or district court judges feel that ICE should be performing their duties, they are still federal officers with a job to do. The supremacy clause of the United States requires that they be allowed to do said job.
Moreover, you can read and reread the specific portion of this law and you will never find anything that requires the President to garner permission from a local judge to make this sort of judgement. Lastly, I am pretty sure Trump has been taken to court by Newsom and California over troops being moved into California, and I am pretty sure that the high court sided with Trump and that troops are still there.
None of those pussy Bush’ would come talk to me
