A federal judge in Oregon issued a permanent injunction blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops on Portland’s streets, ruling there was no rebellion or inability to enforce federal law. U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut, who previously granted temporary orders, said the president’s determination was untethered to the facts. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek called the federalization effort a gross abuse of power, while California AG Rob Bonta praised the decision. The Justice Department, which argued the Guard was needed, has appealed; the White House did not immediately comment.
