A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump‘s National Guard deployment to Portland, Oregon, in what is a temporary legal setback for the administration as it seeks to quell violence in the city.
The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut on Saturday night, granted the state of Oregon a temporary restraining order on the deployment, which is set to expire on Oct. 18.
While Immergut’s decision does not declare the deployment unlawful, she concluded her opinion by writing that the Trump administration’s arguments, “if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power — to the detriment of this nation.”
