us judge blocks national guard deployment to portland appeal by trump

President Trump's administration on Friday appealed a ruling from a federal judge in Oregon that barred it from deploying the National Guard to Portland. The ruling last week from U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, followed a three-day trial in which both sides argued over whether protests at the city's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building met the conditions for using the military domestically under federal law. The city and state filed the lawsuit in September to block the deployment. In a 106-page opinion, Immergut found that even though the president is entitled to "great deference" in his decision on whether to call up the Guard, he did not have a legal basis for...

The administration criticized the decision and said the troops were needed to protect federal personnel and property in a city that Trump has described as "war ravaged." "The district court's ruling made it clear that this administration must be accountable to the truth and to the rule of law," Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in an emailed statement Friday in... "We will keep defending Oregon values and standing up for our state's authority to make decisions grounded in evidence and common sense." The judge issued an order last month temporarily blocking the deployment. A federal judge ruled on Friday that Donald Trump "exceeded the President's authority" when he sent federalized National Guard troops into Portland. In a 106-decision, Trump-appointed U.S.

District Judge Karin Immergut made permanent an order she issued last month blocking the deployment into the city. "The evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon's governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the president's authority," the judge... After a three-day trial, Immergut rejected the Trump administration's argument that immigration-related protests amounted to rebellion or danger of a rebellion -- the standard needed to justify a federal takeover of the National Guard.

(AP) — A federal judge in Oregon ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration failed to meet the legal requirements for deploying the National Guard to Portland after the city and state sued in... The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, followed a three-day trial last week in which both sides argued over whether protests at the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building met the conditions for using the military domestically under federal law.

The administration said the troops were needed to protect federal personnel and property in a city that Trump described as “war ravaged” with “fires all over the place.” In a 106-page opinion, Immergut found that even though the president is entitled to “great deference” in his decision on whether to call up the Guard, he did not have a legal basis for... National Guard troops cannot be deployed in Portland and President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by attempting to do so, a federal judge ruled Nov. 7. In a 106-page opinion, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut outlined the facts of the case and concluded the Trump administration had violated both the 10th Amendment and Title 10, Section 12406 of the U.S.

Code. "The evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon’s governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the President’s authority," said Immergut,... The ruling comes after Immergut heard testimony during a three-day trial and issued a Nov. 2 preliminary injunction preventing troops from being deployed until 5 p.m. Nov. 7.

The relevant portion of Title 10, Section 12406 of the U.S. Code says the president can federalize troops when there is or is a threat of rebellion, or laws are unable to be executed using "regular forces." US District Judge Karin Immergut ruled Friday, November 7, that the Trump administration is permanently barred from deploying the National Guard to Oregon. The decision was a long-awaited ruling in a case that catapulted Portland into the national spotlight. Immergut’s ruling is a permanent injunction against the U.S. Department of Defense and Secretary Pete Hegseth, as well as the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Kristi Noem, banning them from carrying out recent plans to send troops to Portland.

The ruling found that the federal government’s decision to briefly deploy unlawfully federalized troops to Oregon early last month violated US code and the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. The ruling also found that “Oregon has suffered irreparable injury from the unlawful federalization and deployment of both its own National Guard and the National Guards of other states.” “Lastly, there are no adequate remedies available at law, and the balance of hardships and the public interest favor Plaintiffs,” the ruling states. Immergut made it clear that the court’s ruling “does not rule that the President can never deploy the National Guard to Oregon, or to any other location, if conditions on the ground justify the... President Donald Trump was permanently blocked from sending the National Guard to Portland by U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut, who delivered her final order in the case Friday.

The case has centered around whether ongoing protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in the city warrant a National Guard deployment. In her ruling, she acknowledged “violent protests did occur,” but law enforcement was able to address them. “Since that brief span of a few days in June, the protests outside the Portland ICE facility have been predominately peaceful, with only isolated and sporadic instances of relatively low-level violence, largely between protesters... The permanent injunction went into effect immediately. The decision is a setback in the Trump administration’s effort to send National Guard members to the city, and marks the fourth time the judge has blocked the deployment.

The Justice Department seeks to overturn a Nov. 7 finding by a federal judge in Portland who held the first trial over Trump’s effort to deploy troops to Democratic-led cities.

The judge, who was appointed by Trump in his first term, ruled the deployment was unlawful. Nov. 8 (UPI) -- A federal judge issued a permanent injunction that prevents the deployment of the National Guard in Portland, Ore., saying Donald Trump "exceeded the President's authority." U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, in a 106-page decision Friday, wrote in all caps: "THIS PERMANENT INJUNCTION ORDER IS IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT." She issued a temporary restraining order on Oct.

4 blocking the deployment of the Oregon National Guard to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. One day later a second order blocked deployment of National Guard troops from other states to Portland streets. "The evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon's governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the president's authority," the judge,... Immergut, who made the decision after the three-day trial, said the troops were not needed to quell protests against Trump's immigration policies.
