US judge rules Trump illegally ordered National Guard to Portland, Oregon
- On Friday, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut issued a permanent injunction barring President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, finding he exceeded his authority.
- At Trump's direction, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth mobilized around 200 National Guard members to protect the Portland ICE facility amid nightly protests.
- Immergut found in her 106-page opinion that Trump failed Title 10, Sec. 12406 criteria as Portland protesters were largely peaceful and local police overtime totaled nearly $900,000.
- The Justice Department appealed and said it would seek a stay while the injunction went into effect immediately as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reviews the case.
- Legal experts say the ruling that violated federal law and the 10th Amendment raises state-sovereignty concerns and may require 9th Circuit or Supreme Court clarification before Nov. 17.
