Trump administration can deploy National Guard to Portland, court rules

An appeals panel of the Ninth Circuit on Monday overturned a temporary order blocking the Trump administration from deploying the Oregon National Guard, concluding the president likely acted within statutory authority. The majority, Judges Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade, cited Portland ICE facility protests that at times turned violent; Judge Susan Graber dissented, warning the ruling erodes constitutional principles. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield condemned the decision and urged the full court to vacate it. A separate, broader ban on any state's National Guard entering Portland remains in effect.
