"Immergut's ruling is a permanent injunction against the U.S. Department of Defense and Secretary Pete Hegseth, as well as the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Kristi Noem, banning them from carrying out recent plans to send troops to Portland. The ruling found that the federal government's decision to briefly deploy unlawfully federalized troops to Oregon early last month violated US code and the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution."
"The ruling also found that "Oregon has suffered irreparable injury from the unlawful federalization and deployment of both its own National Guard and the National Guards of other states." "Lastly, there are no adequate remedies available at law, and the balance of hardships and the public interest favor Plaintiffs," the ruling states. Immergut made it clear that the court's ruling "does not rule that the President can never deploy the National Guard to Oregon, or to any other location,"
US District Judge Karin Immergut permanently barred the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to Oregon, enjoining the Department of Defense, Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Department of Homeland Security, and Secretary Kristi Noem from executing recent plans to send troops to Portland. The court found that a brief unlawful federalization and deployment of troops violated US code and the Tenth Amendment. The court found Oregon suffered irreparable injury and that no adequate legal remedies exist, with the balance of hardships and public interest favoring Plaintiffs. The court clarified that presidential deployment remains possible if conditions on the ground justify intervention. Evidence did not show organized or rebellious intent by protesters at the Portland ICE facility. A preliminary injunction on November 2 had kept Guard troops federalized but not deployed following a three-day trial.
