Trump Appointed judge blocks National Guard Deployment in Portland

A federal judge in Oregon on Saturday temporarily blocked the deployment of 200 National Guard troops to Portland.

U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut, an appointee of President Donald Trump, issued a temporary restraining order after Oregon and Portland sued. The order expires on Oct. 18 but could be extended.

"This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs," Immergut wrote.

"This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power — to the detriment of this nation," she wrote.

The ruling is a setback for the Trump administration as it seeks to use military troops in some Democratic-run cities.

They keep saying “blocked temporarily”. Which is a weak attempt to appear “resistant”. They’re just handing this dude wins left and right.
