"According to City Hall, the brief calls on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (which covers western states, including Oregon and California) to uphold a lower court's ruling, issued on Sunday, barring the Trump administration from deploying troops to Portland. The federal district court is weighing the lower court's ruling after the Trump administration appealed it. The fate of the case could have a long-term impact on New York should Trump"
"In the brief, the plaintiffs allege that the Trump administration's move to federalize the National Guard failed to meet statutory thresholds and trampled on the foundational principles forbidding Federal military involvement in civilian law enforcement. It further describes the action as adrastic measure that is baseless, arbitrary, and seemingly animated by pretext and misinformation. Mayor Adams, who has personally refrained from criticizing Trump and his administration, emphasized in a statement the need for localities to be able to handle law enforcement matters themselves."
New York City joined 74 other localities in an amicus brief supporting Oregon's challenge to federal deployment of the National Guard in Portland, urging the Ninth Circuit to uphold a lower court order barring those deployments. The federal district court is weighing the ruling after the Trump administration appealed. Plaintiffs argue the federalization failed statutory thresholds and violated prohibitions on federal military involvement in civilian law enforcement, calling the action drastic, baseless, arbitrary, and driven by pretext and misinformation. Mayor Adams emphasized that localities must retain control over law enforcement and public safety.
