In a significant ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut has extended a block on the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon, citing insufficient evidence of unrest. The decision comes after a month-long legal struggle over the issue.
A federal appellate court allows President Trump to maintain control over the Oregon National Guard, raising concerns about unilateral power and local protests. Legal battles continue as state officials vow to fight the ruling.
In a dramatic move, President Trump has ordered 200 Oregon National Guard troops to be deployed to Portland, sparking a lawsuit from the state. The troops are intended to protect federal facilities amidst claims of 'domestic terrorists'.
