Judge blocks deployment of National Guard to Portland

A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s move to send National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued an emergency temporary restraining order Sunday night after officials from California and Oregon asked the court to intervene. The order prevents National Guard troops from any state across the country and Washington, D.C., from being sent to Oregon.

“We just won in court— again,” Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., wrote on X Sunday night. “A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTJudge LAND.”

The court order follows Trump’s effort to deploy National Guard troops to Portland to guard federal property amid protests and riots outside an immigration detention center in the city. Federal and local law enforcement have made multiple arrests of protesters outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland.
