President Trump overstepped his authority in seeking to deploy National Guard troops to Portland to protect ICE, a federal judge ruled, permanently blocking such deployments and citing the 10th Amendment. U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut rejected claims of rebellion and found protests largely peaceful, while staying part of her order for 14 days as federal lawyers signaled an appeal to the Ninth Circuit. Gov. Tina Kotek praised the decision; DHS defended the president’s actions. The judge also flagged a brief Guard deployment after her restraining order and said she expects further explanation.
