Judge Extends Ban on Trump’s National Guard Troop Deployment to Portland

- U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut ruled to extend her order blocking Donald Trump from deploying National Guard (United States) troops to Portland, Oregon, until Friday.
- The decision follows a three-day trial examining whether the Trump administrations actions violated laws regarding the federalization of Oregon and California troops for deployment.
- This legal confrontation reflects broader issues of federalism and the limits of presidential authority, as the deployment of troops continues to face scrutiny by the judicial system.
