Federal Appeals Court Temporarily Bars Portland Troop Deployment
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has stayed the order to deploy Oregon National Guard troops to Portland, pending further review.
A panel of three judges had initially ruled that the troops could be sent in, but the appeals court wants to allow more judges to consider the matter.
The decision 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.
Protesters hold signs reading "Guard: Go Home" while people make their way into the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse.
The court's order is a temporary halt to the deployment, as judges take a closer look at the issue.
Author's summary: Court halts troop deployment to Portland.
