Judge extends ban on Guard in Portland

A federal judge late Sunday barred the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Portland for at least five more days, signaling she may block them for good. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued a preliminary injunction extending her earlier order preventing Guard protection of a local ICE facility amid months of protests. Citing voluminous evidence, she said the government hadn’t shown an imminent rebellion or that ICE lacked resources, and the plan likely violated the Tenth Amendment. A final ruling is due by Friday; if she upholds it, federal lawyers are expected to appeal.
