Judge temporarily blocks Trump’s National Guard deployment in Portland
A federal judge blocked Trump’s plan citing constitutional violations and evidence showing Portland protests were not violent enough to justify National Guard deployment.
- A federal judge, Karin Immergut, temporarily blocked the deployment of 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, stating it was unconstitutional and exceeded presidential authority.
- Immergut ruled that Congress holds the power to call forth troops, not the president, thereby supporting the state and city lawsuit.
- The decision reflects ongoing tensions between federal and state authorities in managing public safety amid protests.
- The restraining order remains effective until October 18 and could be extended, pending further court hearings about public safety and military intervention.
