"In a 2-1 ruling, the panel of three judges determined an existing temporary restraining order preventing Oregon National Guard troops from being activated and deployed should be overturned. The decision paves the way for deployment of troops. For now, troops won't be deployed immediately, because of a different, but similar order preventing activation of out-of-state troops. That temporary order expires next week."
"In the court's ruling, the dissenting judge urged her colleagues in the 9th Circuit to essentially nullify the ruling handed down earlier that day, insisting it remains illegal to allow military deployment to an American city under the current circumstances. Hours later, a judge requested the court vote on whether to rehear the case with a full panel of judges."

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 ruling to overturn a temporary restraining order that prevented activation and deployment of Oregon National Guard troops, potentially clearing a path for deployment. Troops are not expected to be deployed immediately because a separate temporary order blocks activation of out-of-state troops; that order expires next week and the federal government has asked for it to end sooner. A judge has requested a vote on rehearing the case with the full appeals court, and the Department of Justice seeks an end to the restraining order currently blocking deployment to Portland.
