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 recent order issued by the court has put on hold a previous ruling that allowed the deployment of troops. The decision was made to enable a larger panel of appeals judges to review the matter.
The legal action is part of an ongoing dispute 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 temporary hold.
The order is the latest development in a series of legal actions related to the deployment of troops to Portland.
