Judge Blocks National Guard Deployment to Oregon with Extended Order
In a significant legal development, Judge Karin J. Immergut of the U.S. District Court for Oregon has extended a temporary restraining order preventing the deployment of National Guard members to Portland, Oregon. This order specifically bars President Donald Trump from mobilizing Oregon National Guard troops for an additional two weeks.
Background on the Restraining Order
The judge’s decision follows an earlier order that initially prohibited any deployment of National Guard personnel. This extension comes as the case awaits a decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the legitimacy of her initial ruling.
