Oregon Argues Feds Inflamed Protests as Troop Deployment Trial Set to Begin

A federal trial is set to begin in Portland, Oregon, to determine whether President Donald Trump can deploy the National Guard to the city.

Local police officials are expected to testify that federal agents at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building have used excessive force, inflaming protests in recent weeks.

The trial, presided over by District Court Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, stems from a lawsuit filed by the city and state against the Trump administration to block the troop deployment.

Immergut has already issued two temporary restraining orders in the case, blocking the troops pending further litigation.
