Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Bars Portland Troop Deployment
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to take more time to consider whether to rehear arguments regarding the deployment of Oregon National Guard troops to Portland.
A panel of three judges had initially ruled that the troops could be sent to Portland, but this decision has been put on hold by the appeals court. The court's order is intended to allow a broader group of appeals judges to decide whether to rehear the matter.
This development is part of an ongoing legal battle over President Donald Trump's plan to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to protect a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, which has been the site of protests.
No statement from the judges or the President has been released regarding the stay of the order.
In summary: Court delays decision on troop deployment to Portland.
