Judge Blocks Trump’s Use of National Guard in Portland

A federal judge in Oregon, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut, issued a permanent injunction preventing the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland amid protests against immigration policies, stating there was no rebellion or danger necessitating such action. The ruling followed a temporary restraining order and comes amid legal disputes initiated by Oregon officials against the administration’s deployment of troops. The Justice Department is appealing the decision, arguing it undermines military operations and the President’s authority. This case parallels a similar situation in Chicago, where a judge also restricted National Guard deployment.
