Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Bars Portland Troop Deployment
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to review the matter further, issuing a stay on the order to deploy Oregon National Guard troops to Portland.
A panel of three judges had initially ruled that the troops could be sent in, but the appeals court wants more time to consider whether to rehear the arguments.
- The decision is part of an ongoing legal battle over the deployment of hundreds of National Guard troops to protect a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland.
- The facility has been the focus of protests, prompting President Donald Trump to consider deploying troops.
