A US federal judge has issued a temporary injunction against the Trump administration's plan to deploy National Guard troops from California and Texas to Portland, Oregon. The ruling, made by US District Judge Karin Immergut, came after the court previously denied the deployment of Oregon's own National Guard. Immergut stated that there was no evidence to support the necessity of federal troops in response to ongoing protests. The judge highlighted concerns regarding state sovereignty and the potential for increased tensions in Portland. The decision will remain in effect until at least October 19. Local officials, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, have criticized the troop deployment as an invasion, arguing that it should not occur without local consent. The Trump administration has defended the deployment as a lawful measure to protect federal assets amid rising crime and unrest.
