Appeals court allows Trump administration to deploy National Guard in Portland
PORTLAND, Oregon — A Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling Monday will allow the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops in Portland — an important legal victory in a showdown over presidential power that’s happening on multiple fronts.The ruling overturns one of two lower court decisions to block the deployment as the appeal process plays out, but because the second decision is still in force, the troops can’t immediately be deployed.The three-judge panel weighed in on a temporary restraining order issued by US District Judge Karin Immergut, who last week ruled to extend two temporary restraining orders barring the deployment of federal troops to Portland.In light of the appellate court’s ruling, the Trump administration is asking that Judge Immergut’s second...
