"On Wednesday, October 15, US District Judge Karin Immergut extended the temporary restraining order (TRO) she'd granted on October 5 for another two weeks. The TRO was set to expire October 18. The ruling comes as the state of Oregon is tangled up in a lawsuit against the federal government for President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops, to help guard the Portland ICE facility amid protests there. Oregon attorneys say the deployment is unnecessary and violates the US Constitution."
"On Saturday, US District Judge Karin Immergut granted the state of Oregon and city of Portland a restraining order to halt any deployment of Oregon National Guard troops until October 18. The state and city filed suit against the Trump administration after the president announced he was sending 200 Oregon National Guard troops to help guard the ICE facility in Portland. The facility has been the site of protests over heightened immigration enforcement."
US District Judge Karin Immergut extended a temporary restraining order on October 15 that had been granted October 5, preventing deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon for two additional weeks. The TRO had been set to expire October 18. The state of Oregon and the city of Portland filed suit after the president announced sending 200 Oregon National Guard troops to guard the Portland ICE facility amid protests. Immergut found the president lacks Constitutional authority to activate a state's National Guard against that state's will and found the administration failed to provide truthful evidence of a threat. The federal government appealed to the 9th Circuit, which granted an administrative stay allowing federalization but not deployment; a decision is pending.
